Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was a lot of support given at the start of the placement and everyone is very nice so getting help is quite easy. Guidance is variable depending on what is being done, a new market offering will have less guidance than a offering that we have carried out many times before.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed it a lot, it gave me insight into what things I aim to look for in work (e.g. more technical work) for the future and what things I value in a company (e.g. the people). Although the current market means it was hard to get work at times, it is even more rewarding when you do manage to get a project.
