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

    • The guidance and training is amazing. I worked under two managers who were very patient and happy to guide me through all the steps of the projects.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I was assigned a team and a supervisor for each project and would refer to them for questions. They would assign me tasks and review it with me to make sure everything went smoothly. Otherwise, I was constantly contacted via email about trainings occurring within the building.

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

    • The training is absolutely phenomenal. In 10 weeks I attended more training sessions than I would have in 2 years elsewhere. There is always people doing some sort of insight whether it be about what other departments do or external training. All interns were taken to Google, Facebook and Twitter for advertising training which was great experience in itself.
