    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • Members of my specific team were often cold and unhelpful when questions were asked, instead of giving meaningful and helpful responses to someone wanting to learn questions were often met with responses such as "Oh you just pick it up". In addition, due to the work being repetitive and minimal it was hard to get a real grasp of what a future in the company could look like.
