    The Role

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

    • My team was amazing. Was very supportive, always glad to teach, and overall had a great positive attitude. I've learned a lot and in the end already had some freedom to choose my own projects.

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

    • I felt always valued. In the beggining the tasks were obviously more simple, but with time the responsability and importance of the tasks always increased. All my projects were recognized with enthusiasm - not matter how big or small they were.

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

    • I felt always very supported. They not only made compliments but also very positive, and to the point, constructive criticism. I felt a huge personal and professional improvement through out the internship.

    • Was busy enough to feel that I was definitly part of team, but my wellbeing and life balance was always the priority.

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

    • I had enough or even more responsability than the one an intern can have. But I was always supporting my managers in their tasks and not doong them for them. It waa the perfect balance
