  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt valued as I got to ask as many questions that I had to the employees that were present at the live session. This allowed me to gain personal knowledge that I would have not been able to get from anywhere else.

  • I received an immense amount of support and guidance from Santander, as we were also had a Google classroom with which the presentation slides were already uploaded before hand. Hence, allowing us students to go over the content before hand.
