Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I thoroughly enjoyed the internship as a whole. Friendly community amongst the 30-40 interns there were. My specific role was hard to adapt to and not many opportunities in my direct line of business. Plenty of opportunities across the business as a whole.
