Looking at improvements coming into the team and engaging stakeholders to get list of requirements and then support the delivery of the item into live
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Due to a reorg when I joined there wasn't much work to be allocated in the team, however have had some high priority items handed to me and with time led my own stakeholder calls without support and was trusted to lead my own improvements but did have to ask for more work often

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Interns do have a good support network from future careers and the other interns and grads in the company, tech interns also have a monthly meeting to check how they're doing but nothing really comes out of this if you do have any feedback or complaints (I felt) just more of a chance to vent. You have a lot of people you can feedback complaints to however it did feel like nothing changes if you do say you have issues
How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?

The company culture definitely one of the best parts of the placement with fairly regular socials and outings with my team. Also being part of such a big company you do get certain perks like o2 priority and competitions
