Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I felt like i was treated as a normal co-worker so was given similar responsibilities to the rest of my team. This was gradual as for the first 6 month i was still learning so they didnt want me to feel overwhelmed but once i was confident in my role i was given extra tasks just like everyone else.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My team was extremely supportive as well as everyone else in the business. Since VWG has had undergraduates for long periods of time everyone in the business knows when we start so they know at what stage we are in our development journeys so tailor their requests to that.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was great. There were lots of events and there are group within the company that employees can join which represent certain minorities such as "we drive proud" and "driven women". The general atmosphere was great aswell as it felt like you could chat with working so it wasnt too intense as long as you got your work done.
