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

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

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well setup, as this position has been taken by placement 西瓜视频s for the past few years, the team was well equipped and ready for me.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Seeing as this was a concrete role within the company, I could very easily get away with just doing the job and not developing much, but there were quite a few training oppurtunities and I was given many chances to develop beyond my work parameter.

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
