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

    • I do believe that it is very hard to give responsibility to intern while working on very big and complex computer networks, however I had opportunities to do some migrations on my own. In other cases we followed 4-eyes principle, where one of my colleague was supporting me.
