    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • If I had any problems I could ask my manager or my buddy, though everyone was friendly enough and more than willing to help.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was as busy as I wanted to be. There was stuff to do, and if you finish early you can always find more stuff to do (if you want)

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • What I was asked to do, I could do in my own way.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The framework I used is propriety, however, at the end of the day, I still honed my python skills and used an object database for the first time, so definitely helped in the long run.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
