    The Role

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

    • This internship

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Being the last temporary arrival in the team did not hurt at all: the majority of the team has been very welcome and supporting when I had questions related to the company.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given a lot of support of guidance. First of all, I have been assigned a "buddy", a person in the team who would work close with me and to who I could ask questions and doubts. Then, also the other people in the team have welcomed my questions!

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • At the beginning I was very busy reading documentation and getting to know the company. Then I have been busy working on my personal project. Overall, I would say that in every moment there was something to do that I could do, and people in my team have been very supporting allowing me to take on tasks.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I did have the responsibility of carrying on my personal project, which did not effect at all the ecosystem. In fact, it was more of a feature to be implemented. Therefore, it was a responsibility tailored to my role as an intern.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This internship really uncovered lots of things I had little or no idea before, with regards to both technical and soft skills. This is stuff that is not taught at all in university, which you can find in companies instead because being updated on the latest features is what lets them carry on.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Great! I felt that pretty much everybody was very welcome and often up to a conversation, which means a lot in a working environment! Actually, it did not felt as a strict working environment at all!

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was organised well, I have had my own specific project that I have carried on.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • A lot. They organised a lot of trainings about technical tools that we could have end up using with! Also, my teammates were fundamental to my personal and professional development!
