Yes, I was treated like any other employee. When I was ready to take more responsibility and extra tasks I was given them. Not only my team but also my brand have trust in my ability to complete the tasks and that is reflected in the fact they often come directly to me when they have queries.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was a lot of support provided by my team, I had a 2 week handover from the previous undergrad and there are always process notes for any new task I take on or I am responsible to create them if they are totally new. The HR team also ran a lot of sessions at the start of the placement, sometimes getting in external guests to provide training in soft skills.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture is great! It is really inclusive you can be yourself and everyone is so supportive. Everyone is very passionate and wants not only themselves but others and the company to succeed.
