Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, definitely given a good amount of responsibility. It was drip fed, so I never felt overwhelmed and could always speak to someone if I wanted more or less work. The responsibility meant I felt like a real part of the business and I could see my work actually being used to make business decisions.
