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

    • The code review process was great for getting used to best practices. If I wanted to know about a certain thing my colleagues were there willing to explain it to me.

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

    • Some days I was really busy, some days I wasn't busy at all. It depends on whether you're waiting on others to complete their work first before you can continue your own.

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

    • I will be more knowledgeable about certain technologies if i need to use them in the future. It also helps to see how certain theoretical topics are used in the industry.

    The Company

    • Can't fault the atmosphere. Everyone was very chill and chatty, felt like a place where everyone was friendly to one another.

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

    • We had certain group tasks such as doing a charity event, but the rest seemed to rely more on your department so it's a case by case situation.

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

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
