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

    • I don't believe the internship was very well organised. I believe there were many difficulties as the beginning when it comes to usage of different platforms. Also, there was no desk work during the internship at all. Moreover, there was lack of communication between managers, as different managers required different things from different interns.
