Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked on a summer-long research project related to one of the sectors my team covered. In addition, completed a variety of different trainings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was not. Full-time analysts were reluctant to delegate work to interns, and therefore I did not get a great flavour of what the actual daily work entails.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
