    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Definitely, a great place to start a career : young company, good perks, most amazing work atmosphere I ever found (everyone is listening to you carefully and you can engage a conversation with everyone)

  • 4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • 8am-6pm everyday. That's ok but it will be hard to find some time to chill out during these hours.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I did three internships and this was the place where I had the biggest responsabilities : projects, presentations, clients meetings. If you have a good idea of improvement and you can convince the business managers, they will implement it asap.

    5/5
