Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Very little, as a sales analyst I was the only member of my team and worked with over 100 people in various capacities. I had very little oversight from a manager who worked in a very different role to me.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company wide, the culture and atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable to work for. However, the sales team can be intimidating and hive minded, which when you are a part of can be very enjoyable. However, from the outside it can be less enjoyable to work with.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Whilst the work was usually enjoyable, there were times where my lack of peers or team to work with made me feel isolated in my role. However, when working on projects with work that I found interesting and with people who I could communicate effectively with, I looked forward to every monday morning.
