Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company culture was very good, warm and welcoming and supportive towards helping build my career. Social events and activities were affected due to COVID during my placement year, however once the office began to open up, started to have more social events and activities within the Finance team. Had a Cares Day to give back to the community (volunteering). Could have been more activities for the interns together.
