    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The 9-week internship program was very well structured. We did not only get serious desk work, but also had the opportunities to participate in a range of activities organized by HR, such as lectures, networking events, etc. Best ever intern experience.

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

    • My colleagues were very friendly to me. They always tried to spare time to coach me and gave me work selectively to ensure it was within my capability to finish it.

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

    • My manager frequently asked whether I had enough work to do and whether I was given enough guidance. We also had buddy/mentor assigned to help us in anything related to our career experience.

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

    • I was given some hand-on work to do everyday and for the rest of the time I was allowed to do some self-study to build up my technical knowledge. I never felt too bored or too busy.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was not given much responsibilities but that was quite understandable as my work was very technical in nature and it needed time to build up knowledge/skills to be competent for it. However, I was given sufficient opportunities to gain insights into what my team had been doing.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • A combination of hardcore skills and soft skills. Very beneficial.

    5/5

    5/5
