I had lots of exposure to senior staff who were supportive in driving development opportunities for me & responsive to feedback ensuring I am getting everything I need from them & the placement. They supported direction from my University to gain technical skills despite this sitting outside the typical remit of my role & they supported me exploring other business areas and skills, giving me the autonomy & independence to steer my own development which I really appreciated.

The Company overall has a healthy culture particularly around putting the focus on achieving deliverables, meaning if you have nothing to action it is acceptable to work on your own development or clock out 15-30 minutes early. I've also never had pushback if I felt the need to take a walk and get outside in both a remote & office setting, which further impressed me with the focus on employee health. The canteen in the main office serves varied & healthy food which I appreciated. There are sit stand desks in the newly refurbished London office which I now use regularly. The company has excellent diversity & I work on one of the largest sustainability projects which also ensures the sustainable end of life of devices including for customer companies which amplifies it's value.

I enjoyed the placement a lot. I was able to work on some of the biggest projects in the company. I was able to take ownership across a range of areas giving me a broad spectrum of experience to draw from as I start my career. My development was continually championed & as a result I developed a wide array of competencies as a result of the placement. I was able to travel across the UK & Internationally to Berlin, Manchester, London & Birmingham. I got to know colleagues who I will miss & was able to be myself at work.
