Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of independence on my placement, therefore, would say I received little guidance. The level of guidance given varied amongst colleges within our team, with some intuitively recommending I approach situations in a different capacity, which i really appreciated!

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
My perspective was that a large proportion of the culture is very work focused, which is great, however, there were few people within the company I had a personal conversation with.
There were some incredible people I met along the way, however, my general consensus was that the culture was superficial!
