Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lots of responsibility, within the first 2 weeks I was presenting my findings to the Rolls-Royce board. Left to work out problems on my own with knowledge that there were people around to aid me if I needed. Allowed to work flexibly from home.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Lots of support. Always had three access points for help and guidance. I had a brilliant placement buddy who made sure I was always busy, networking, and getting the most out of my experience daily. Being able to work problems out for myself was great because I was able to develop some skills on my own.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I love my placement, I love the environment that I work in and my team. I am never short of work to do, I am able to work at a fast pace with continued support throughout. I am tasked with jobs that will actually 'make a difference' in the company which makes me feel included within Rolls-Royce. I would love to do a graduate scheme when I finish.
