Fairly small office so most people get to know each other. Definitely opportunities to do non related work activities together which helps build relationships even amount different departments. The “grow your own” culture very visible through the amount of training available.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I joined during the height of Covid so it was difficult to learn the job remotely and without social interaction. However, once the placement went on and we could meet everyone in the office, it became more enjoyable. There have been more difficult times due to staff restructuring but there is positives of the office expanding as you get to work with a more diverse teams.
