Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role ranges from short tasks like calculating transfer values for individual members to projects that took an entire week such as GMP equalisation. We also had to create a PowerPoint and do a presentation to the other interns and team leaders!
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, right from the first week we got started on client work. Each work is checked by 2 others so it gave me responsibility while being safe in the knowledge anything I do wrong is corrected. We were also given feedback on all our work which improved my confidence when having to do similar work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
They have a great DEI team that organise events to encourage people to learn about each others cultures. On my assessment day there was a food festival where people bought food in from their culture and others got to try. The general atmosphere and culture is fantastic, everyone gets on with everyone and there are regular socials.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
