Yes, a lot especially after the first few months, I was given the responsibility to carry out individual tasks and also had to do a lot of my managers work when she was really busy or off.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Sadly I didn't get to experience the company culture and atmosphere in person as we all worked from home but whenever I had catch-ups with my manager and team, they always made me feel like a part of the team, get me involved in conversations, asked for my opinions and made me feel valued.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed it, although most of it was virtual. I was lucky to live in the company student housing and make great friends with other interns. The only thing that I didn't get out of this placement was to have real-life one to one relationships with my managers.
