What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was highly enjoyable. The inclusive and welcoming culture is what drew me into applying in the first place and having now completed the scheme I can confirm it is exactly how they say. Everyone, even interns, are made to feel important and like their work is valuable to the business. Serious work but a relaxed attitude which works very well to get the best out of everyone.
