Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
To a great extent. Lots of new learning, encouraged to speak up and given opportunities to present ideas and solutions.
Given tasks to learn the technical aspect of the role by putting me in the deeper end, through brief but clear instruction of what would be liked of my manager. This approach helped me learn in a more comprehensive manner which was then followed by explanations of my finding from my manager.
