Your Impressions
I enjoyed my placement as a whole, but there is lots of room for improvement. Unfortunately, this was during the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant the placement was remote for the entire period - having an on-site placement would be excellent for future cohorts. A lot of the work is repetitive, so if there was a rotation policy where interns could do new things every so often, that would be great.
Yes
