    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my placement year at Samsung. I had the opportunity to learn many business skills as well as soft skills. Also, I was able to expand my interests across different departments and with different people.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Working in Samsung Europe Office was a very important experience for me as I was able to work with people coming from different backgrounds than mine, but that they were still able to understand me and value me. Also, after a few months in the business, the team really started treating me as part of a family. I was able to discuss with my colleagues both work-related and life matters.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Both HR and my manager have been supporting and guiding me during the whole process. The training, as well as the mentoring that Samsung has offered me, has been fantastic.
