    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The challenging nature of the tasks assingned to me made me feel like a valued team player, not a 'dogsbody' as has been the criticism of friends at other firms.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • 5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was kept very busy throughout the placement. It can be difficult for an intern to keep approaching people for more work, but it is best to do so rather than sit twiddling thumbs - that is of no use to anyone.
