Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Huge company with a lot of opportunity. May be placed in a role you were not expecting or didn't know exists but you really get out of this job what you put in. Through networking and meeting people my responsibilities expanded and generally managers are very supportive of you seeking opportunities even if outside the team if it provides a business benefit! Gives great insight into the sector and would definitely recommend
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As said above you get out what you put in. If you show you're keen and communicate what you want out of the internship you will get it however if you remain quiet you will do the bare minimum and be very bored
