Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
During the first week, I was involved with training about the firm and for my job specifically. Over the next three weeks, I helped out my team to perform their jobs, which involved learning all the system software as well as giving me a deeper insight into my chosen field and how my team does its job
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a good amount of responsibility during my internship. I was given access to information and resources that other, full-time workers have access to, and using these to do my own tasks, however I was never overwhelmed by having too much responsibility too early.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have developed my ability to network in a professional environment, which I have not had to do much of before. I have also become more skilled when it comes to performing my role, since I have learnt a lot about all software and how my team uses them to carry out their work.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The level of support I received was excellent. I had numerous buddies/coaches that were welcoming, knowledgeable, and made it clear that I could message them at any time with any question I had. They always responded to me promptly and effectively, whether it be in person, over email or via a virtual chat.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone has been very smiley, bubbly and friendly, whilst also being a professional. I get the impression that everyone looks out for each other, and wants everyone to succeed. It never feels like people are too competitive and want to step on you to get ahead for themselves. I was even invited to a team social, which was very fun and was the time when I really felt like I was one of the team.
