    The Role

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

    • The placement was a very enjoyable learning experience since interns were really given real projects that had to be completed. Therefore people took time to teach things, you could alwayts ask questions if there were any.

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

    • Atmosphere was really well. However, although the work given was needed to be done, it was mainly support tasks and not sophisticated big projects that were reserved for the analysts.

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

    • Support from collegues and my manager was fantastic, no matter with what kind of concerns you could always go to people, aks questions or ask for advice.

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

    • I was very busy during the internship often having to pull late hours. However when entering this industry or company this is what you expect so I think that the hours were what i expected and completely fine.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • There was some responsibilities given and dealdines had to be met, however those were not the most advanced and important tasks that people can only do when they have enough experience.
