Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Internship placement. Helping the team to fulfill any jobs that need completing, including drafting cover letters and statements, conducting research and analysis for planning applications and a range of other duties

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given full control over a mini-research project, which I then presented to my team whilst also chairing their weekly meeting. I was also able to work on actual projects, producing work which would impact the results of the projects, although still relatively minor in importance.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Very social, very people focused, not as inclusive as I envisioned for a central London company, but people in general were very welcoming. If you didn't know something people would simply educate you.
