Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a decent amount of responsibility in my internship despite having no prior experience in digital product. My colleagues regularly check in and adjust my workload based on my capacity, encouraging growth. At one point, I helped run multiple features, which was both rewarding and allowed me to develop at a manageable pace.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The environment is highly supportive. You're encouraged to join meetings, explore interests, and they try to integrate them into yearly plans. Monthly development check-ins ensure growth, and the support from those around me has been overwhelmingly positive! and that is why employees stay with the company for a long time which is a very good sign.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my internship—it flew by! I learned and developed a lot, surrounded by great people and a strong company culture, while gaining exposure to various parts of the business.
The only minor downside was that development goals sometimes didn't align with the year's projects, making them harder to achieve. One goal I assumed was part of the role turned out to be outsourced, so I gained minimal experience in that area, which makes job applications more challenging. However, I accomplished a lot in other areas.
