    The Role

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

    • This has been the most enjoyable Job I've ever done. Rather than offering Interns a basic role, Intel provides their interns with real job roles and real opportunities to develop.

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

    • The team really respected me and accepted me as a real member of their team. My colleagues always valued my input and did their best to make my placement an enjoyable experience - and to make me want to come back!

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

    • Regularly given advice. The company is an 'open-door' company, meaning that no matter how senior the member of staff, you can always meet with them to discuss personal development, and get career advice.

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

    • Because this is a real role and not just a simple 'intern-role' - I was always as busy as i wanted to be. If there wasn't much going on, I'd go and look for a new project or new opportunity - and i was encouraged to do so

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

    • I was given the responsibility of handling multi-million dollar customer accounts, all over the world. After working their for a few months, I gained the trust needed to make my own informed decisions, without needing to consult my senior to get the 'go-ahead'

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

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