Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I have actually enjoyed most days of my internship. Having all the responsibility of our own work means you can structure your days to suit how you like to work. The best bit has been meeting people in the office. I started with a large intake of uni graduates so a lot of people around the same age as me and has been great working with them over the year.
