Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was treated like actual employee rather than a student. I was involved in all the relevant meetings which made me feel like I belonged there. I was also given very impactful projects, where I had to work as a team with other departments. It was nice to feel trusted to do the work properly.

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There were always people specially from my team but also from all over Adobe offering to help with any questions I had at any time of my placement, not just at the beginning. I had weekly meetings with my line manager to let him know what I was getting up to and how I was getting on. Having two buddy at also made it easy to reach out to someone if I had any questions.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Adobe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Adobe
Be yourself throughout the whole application process because if you act differently once you start, compared to the application process, it will be visible. If you're kind, driven and open to new experiences, you will fit right in at Adobe. Once you start, and even during the application process, connect with employees on LinkedIn and message them if you have any questions. The people at Adobe really make the job.
