    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I have really enjoyed my 13 months placement job at Intel and I was given a lot more responsibilities than I would thought. I'm working for two teams across three continents and both teammates are very supportive and kind.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • As I'm working for two teams throughout my placement, I have received a lot of support from the team and also helped many of my colleagues. I feel very valued when receiving thanks message/letter after a project completed or helped my colleague out and being recognized on Intel recognition system.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I'm working quite closely with my supervisor and she is also sitting in the same office as me. Whenever I have questions, I can very easily reach out from her. We also have weekly one-on-one meetings so she can distribute tasks to me based on my priorities.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I have a relatively busy daily basis. When having project to work on, most of time I'm very concentrating and I can finish the work efficiently so I can have more time on developing other skills.
