Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

from 1 to 10, I would like to scale my internship at 100.
I loved it, seriously.
The only thing that ruined the experience has been to be hired by a recruiter.
This was very much annoying : I felt no rights, and it was no good.
However, overall, it has been a very very very good experience
