I was given huge amounts of support from a plethora of employees, joining within COVID was extremely challenging and meant that I wasn't given a huge handover period from my previous placement student. Saying this, everyone at MSD was very approachable and willing to help with any queries I had just joining and still do now.

The company culture at MSD is so welcoming and friendly. Joining in COVID it is hard to gauge the culture entirely but spending the last few weeks in the office, there are a huge number of social events and activities.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement - would definitely consider returning to the graduate scheme
