Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
My managers have given me a lot of responsibility throughout my internship when it comes to owning both small and large-scales projects. I've also been extended the responsibility of managing my own titles that come through the various content lines.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I felt supported throughout the internship and felt that I could reach out for help when I needed to. It took me a while to get use to the role as I felt a little lost in what I was doing at the beginning, but I eventually found my interests and my niche and could put my hand up to get tasks that I enjoy. I've found it a bit harder to get advice from the HR team at the company.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The teams that I worked in were very friendly, and I think it probably comes down to the environment that our senior leadership fosters. Other teams might not necessarily get along as mine do. The company feels very open and relatively flexible, but it is a very large company at the end of the day, and enacting change is a very slow process. I also know that the culture in regards to career progression is poorer at the company which means that many interns have a hard time with receiving return offers.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I massively enjoyed my internship and genuinely felt like I've been able to get a lot out of it. I think I was extended a lot of responsibility and had some unique opportunities come my way in terms of work. I'm really glad with how my internship went and would not have gone for anything else.
