Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Worked in a small team to roll out a proof of concept AI chatbot. Worked on creating a Power BI dashboard to present data. Presented the project to exec committee to update C-Suite on the status of the project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Given my own task to work on throughout. Good amount of responsibility allocated to me for an intern, I was not expecting the seriousness of work. However the pressure was helpful and despite this I would not say I was "thrown into the deep end"; the team was extremely supportive and patient with us. Often given control of my own work with reasonable oversight.

Company Culture

Very flat structure, everyone around me is very supportive and helpful. Not just in my team, but if I messaged a stranger on Teams, they would get back to me as best they could and were always willing to meet for a coffee for advice.
