Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
A mixture of development and operations dependent on rotas. Development involves the creation and improvement of tools and automations to improve the efficiency and smooth running of the department in general.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility. In my experience, the amount of responsibility you are given is dependent on how much you want it/push for it. If you choose to take control of projects and push them forward then you can enjoy a lot of responsibility.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company culture and general atmosphere is good. While corporate in nature, there is still a good mix of serious and more relaxed events. In particular, there is a lot of push for charity/employee aid groups. For example, there are frequently Charity events held by our sustainability teams, volunteering teams, diversity and inclusion teams etc.
