Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I had very good colleagues that were always here to help me. They had their own work to do but would ask me if everything was okay and if I needed help. They also (including my senior manager) were always very keen and patient with me when I asked for help

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The teams were always hard working and looking to finish their job a week before the deadline. They would keep the last week as a review week and make sure everything was correctly done. However, in the finance department it was a bit toxic as the manager was putting unnecessary pressure on the workers.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really did enjoy the first half of my placement. However, after changing department and moving into the audit department, I felt like I was neglected by my managers. Whenever, I asked for work, they would give me work that could be done in less than an hour. Therefore, at times I would find myself just sitting around without any work even if I asked for more.
