    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I’ve learnt a lot, just within the 6 months I’ve been here. I’ve developed my public speaking skills, I understand working culture better, and I’ve done the cloud practitioner certification.

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The work that I do is good and I enjoy it, but there is a lot going on and it can get overwhelming pretty easily.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It is a lot better organised than a lot of the other programs, our managers know our capabilities and always have relevant things for us to work on.

    9/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I receive a lot of support from those I work with.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • It is useful to some extent, but not a lot at this stage, I suspect it will be more useful later on.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Yes, there are lots of activities available, but there is not always time to go to them.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Amazon to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It’s a tough place to work but rewarding - I like my team and there are lots of opportunities.
