Support and Guidance

The support was excellent. My manager would have a weekly touch point to see how they could support us further. On a day to day basis, my team lead and line manager would always be available for any issues I may have had.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The company as a whole was fantastic at showing its appreciation to the employees. The intern committee would have benefited from having a 'social sec' who could organise more intern events and the ordering of hoodies etc.
