    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • Would have enjoyed taking on more responsibility but I still feel that a lot was learned. Site visits vary across teams depending on the nature of the team and also the nature of the people in the team. The work does get a bit tedious at times but I guess that is standard for an internship. Perfect, if you want a job which is not too hectic.
