Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot! My manager was amazing from day 1, and so was my wider team who I worked with on a daily basis. I always knew I could go to them with any question and I would always receive a useful answer or be guided to where I can find out more information, which also helped me to meet new people across the business. Working virtually, I was still supported massively and had regular catch ups with my manager and team members.

Really great! Everyone is so friendly and more than happy to help with anything, or even tell you more about their role and career journey. It's really easy to network around the company and get to know new people without feeling like you're pestering them. The culture is really great in terms of building new talent and supporting you to be your best professional self.
