Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
We are assigned an intern project which is the overarching goal of the internship. Attend regular stand ups with my team, network with VP and EDs in the firm and specific business unit, learn project language and complete project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Given a fairly critical project which would benefit team if completed properly. Didn't have any direct responsibilities in the day to day work of my team as most of my time was spent on my project. Networked with team and other people in different teams to get a perspective on what they are doing instead.
