Yes. You are not viewed as a 'placement student'. You are given as much responsibility as you are able to handle and deliver on.

I have developed and built upon my existing Python skills and have developed new VBA skills. I have also greatly developed my professional skills whilst in the role. This development was aided by regular feedback which was encouraging and constructive.

I received encouraging and constrictive feedback continuously throughout my placement which greatly aided my professional and technical development.

Flat company structure, stressful at times (especially during busy periods), friendly but driven atmosphere among most colleagues.

Greatly enjoyed it despite the limitations imposed by COVID-19 restrictions which caused much colleague-to-colleague interaction to move online. My manager's guidance and instruction really allowed me to make the most of my placement.
