Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
This really changed from rotation to rotation, but most of the time it involved replying to emails, building a client-employee relationship, especially with SMEs, networking within the company and working with other grads and senior stakeholders.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, although I wasn't just thrown in the deep end, by the time I had found my feet within the company, I was given the responsibilities of hosting and helping to run events. I never felt overwhelmed or not supported, but I was pushed to my limits which helped me grow as a person.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My ability to network and voice my opinions in calls has been greatly improved. Before I started I was nervous and apprehensive to put my point across but Atos have been great at supporting this learning curve.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the beginning I didn't receive very much but that was a result of me not reaching out and asking for support. Once I had found my feet and found a group of other graduates that I could trust, finding support and like minded people who could help, even within personal development, was very easy.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The GIA community is a great place to meet new grads and make new friends. There are lots of socials planned and it's a great place to network, especially after losing out due to covid during my last two years at university.

Yes

Absolutely you should apply. The people are welcoming, and the line managers are encouraging and supportive. You are challenged to step outside your comfort zone and many of the line managers want you to get the most out of your placement.
