Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves weekly reporting and assisting my line manager with any presentations or data pulling, and also a student group project that runs throughout the year.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I have, but they also taught me while giving me responsibility so it feels more like an opportunity and experience than stress or pressure from the team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
We have a lot of social events and activities and everyone tries their best to keep the team members engaged and not isolated even in Covid and virtual work. I would say that the company culture is warm and people centric, and I couldn't be happier with joining this company. We have great voluntary initiatives as well.
