Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
As I was with each team for a week I first started by learning exactly what each department did and then built up to completing work for them by the end of the week.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I found it fascinating learning about all business and potential roles available. I now have a much better understanding of what goes on and where I would want to head.
