Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I’ve developed a wide range of skills during my placement, from conducting complex data analysis to managing my time effectively and communicating across multiple departments.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I didn't expect it but everyone is always willing and open to help or have a general chat. The overall company culture is really friendly, inclusive and a great atmosphere.
