Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. There was definitely lots of autonomy over certain roles, however support was always available. There were certain tasks which I did not get the chance to be involved in, whilst others did. However I can likewise say I had certain responsibilities that others did not.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very good. The culture within my team specifically was very encouraging. Work life balance was highly valued and flexible working/ autonomous working/ wellbeing was encouraged. We had training webinars, a wellbeing team and frequent check-ins to ensure we never felt overwhelmed or discouraged, particularly during peak recruitment seasons when workload could be heavier.
