Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We had various buddies in place as a support system, which was very appreciated. Having the grad buddies meant we could chat to people in the grad scheme and to get a feel for what the company was like for people our age. The onboarding buddy was great as they were fully integrated into our business unit.
