Line manager gave monthly 1-1s which was very useful for me to get into the role & ask for advice. Access to Data Science Mentor which helped me develop skills, wider team supervised me with 1-1's bi-weekly and was always there to help. Access to resources and always people willing to help.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Team was very friendly they made it easy to join and get in with. Work has the right amount of responsibility and free time to work on other things like giveback etc. Company Culture is very relax. However, expected a lot of developer focused work which is not always what is given. Would go back
