    • The internship was very enjoyable with a great work culture

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

    • The nature of intern projects meant the work done often felt separate from the work others did. Despite this, I got on well with all my colleagues

    • The work was allowed to be mostly self-directed, with semi-regular check-ins from my supervisor.

    • I tended not to be very busy

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was assigned an intern project and had full responsibility over it. Aside from this, I was often involved in meetings with other teams and companies, and occasionally led activities. However, responsibility rarely extended outside of my own work or occasionally aiding other employees

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