  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • i was given a lot of responsibility, it was hard at the beginning, however I've now become much more organised and confident, having a company as big as NetApp give me this much responsibility is hard to find, rare intact.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I believe the skills i have will stay with me for life, i have worked along sides managers, building a close bondage with them, and learning so much from what they have experience has changed me as a person.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It can be extremely busy and very fun, however its always a professional environment, the kitchen area has a pool table, theres also a big space for microwaves and fridge, so the feeling of being able to work and relax when things get stressful is unique. There is always something going on from family fun day to pastry fridays!

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Had a lot of support from HR, managers & our recruiter with regular meetings

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • training was available all the time online, we even had training on how to have a successful presentation and build our leadership skills.
