    The Role

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

    • Very interactive and diverse work

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Colleagues were great to work with. Felt like part of the team, not just a coffee boy.

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

    • Any question asks was answered clearly and helpfully.

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

    • Rarely too busy, but sometimes left without things to do. But that is the nature of the type of work I did. Not a reflection of Verizon.

    4/5

    • Depending on the work, I was given a variety of responsibility matching my knowledge base and skills.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Great for my degree, simplified things I had issues with. However, I don't know my future plans, so I can't say whether or not it will help. Except that base skills through the learning portal will help me with any job.

    4/5

    • Paris is expensive on a student salary

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife in the outskirts of paris where I worked is not a place you want to be. But at the main office, you're just a station away from fun.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The Company committee has lots of choices for trips abroad, cheap cinema tickets and more.
