    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    5/5

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The nature of Deals means that it's difficult to have consistent and stable flow of work, but I can see the effort of resourcing team to try and get me involved in a variety of projects.

    3/5

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