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

    • Colleagues were extremely helpful throughout the internship, making time to explain thoroughly any new tasks, or concepts relating to the work I was engaged in. Support was given by my manager and mid-internship review sessions.

    5/5

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

    • Good level of responsibility given. Eased into the internship with guidance from full time analysts, but responsibility increased as the internship progressed. Good level of responsibility without feeling overburdened when first starting.
