Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

First 6 months, was mostly independent which meant I learnt lots through my own learning and research. However, I felt I lacked mentoring from my line manager especially as a new starter. My new manager after set up more induction calls with cross functional teams so I had gained more of a broader understanding of the business in my final 6 months.
