  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I would've never imagined that trying to create the next billion dollar product would be so much fun.

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

    • HR people were always in touch, in my case there was a little bit of delay in my arrival date but that was mainly because of government processes that had to be done before moving to the UK.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Excelent training oportunities. You are offered a lot of courses and events but you can also look for others that could help your work skills and the company might pay for it. I had a serious SolidWorks course with all expenses paid and attended various events.
