Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
the first one or two months were dedicated to an "onboarding" process to help get to grips with what I would be working with. The team I worked with were amazing and always willing to listen to and answer my many questions. and they tried to encourage me to come to my solutions on my own rather than just tell me what to do.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
people at the office were extremely friendly and easy to approach. at this particular office the flexible hours are a bit awkward because there are so few people here in person which means the office is only open when the majority of people want to work so you can be a bit limited by that.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved it. the work was intresting and enjoyable the people were lovely to work with my only complaint would be the circumstances of the office (it's size, location) which meant that certain thing that probably work in the larger offices don't translate so well. e.g flexible working hours, social/charity events. all in all though I would definatly recommend this to anyone looking for a good year in industry.
