    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • You are well integrated into the business and although sometimes it doesn't seem like much on paper, if you are not to fulfil your role then a replacement would be needed. Interns are given an actual role at the company for the year and not put on a separate course etc, thus giving a real world experience of how a global organisation operates.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I would love to join the company after I have finished my degree as they are caring for their employees and this is shown by the general culture and well-being of the company. It does meet the initial expectations despite doing the majority of the placement remotely too, still managed to use the brand new office space they have just opened up.
