    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Mentor provided outside of the team is very valuable as is independent of any politics within your organisation. Management are also supportive when needed. Quarterly appraisals are also a benefit

    4/5

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

    3/5

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Monumentally. Working for a global company with co-located teams and varied direction certainly shows how not to do things in the real world... Project management skills and learnings will be reflected in final year studies.

    5/5
