    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • There were aspects I enjoyed and others not so much. I did not feel that interested or fulfilled my placement tasks. I wish they had given me something more technical, as I was in a technical team. I enjoyed the people in my team and the relationships I built. I liked the place and the culture. There are a lot of really interesting projects and work going on, I was just not given this.
