Plenty of 1-2-1 calls available to improve my understanding of the business, roles with it and the role that Internal Audit plays.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very inclusive in the team, everyone was willing to speak to me and answer my questions. Part of a team wellbeing week which ended in a team social. Wider graduate council helped to organize intern calls. CSR fundraising project in a small team of interns. Due to being virtual, unsure about other social events
