Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
My team was only 2/3 people and towards the beginning I felt isolated. Once I made friends with more interns I was much happier. Due to the layout of the office it is hard to communicate with other teams, but there were a few enjoyable social events

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I did not enjoy the first 4 months as I did not have much work to do. Towards the end my role developed a lot and the projects become more creative focused, which I enjoyed. It was hard not to compare my role against the brand team roles, where the teams seemed closer and busier.
