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

    • I felt that the Belfast office were out-of-the-loop slightly, especially as there were only two 11 week summer interns so we never had the chance to come up with a Dragon's Den idea because it would be difficult to meet up with people in the rest of the UK.

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

    • They trained us up in the technical side of things but I can't think of anything in terms of personal training and development.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
