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

    • The nature of the product role is fast paced and no two days are the same but this is what I enjoyed about the role! The workload is always manageable though.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You have the same role as a full time employee so you have great responsibility which was a highlight of the placement scheme for me. I was responsible for shaping and implementing 3 year product strategies for Thailand, Kenya, Goa, Mauritius and Aruba.
