    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The shadowing provided was insightful, although some departments had clearly put more time into thinking about what to do with interns. The talks were interesting and relevant. Furthermore, everyone has time to talk to you, even senior staff are happy to take time out of their day to answer any questions.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Every one values the fresh insight of the interns and does their best to answer questions and give advice.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • A reasonable amount, you were never unsure on what you were supposed to be doing or where you were supposed to be. The advice given was also useful.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Some departments treated you as an employee and shadowing was therefore much more engaging and skill developing than others.
