    • The office atmosphere is really relaxed and a joy to be in.

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

    • I did not have a computer at first. My mentor moved department and I did not get access to a PC 3 weeks into the intern. I then had to wait another 2-3 weeks before getting SAP/Email access.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I think GE should provide more training to the interns so we can make the most of our internship. E.g. getting first aid training.
