Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Only going in one day (like the rest of the team) a week I felt that I have missed out on that company culture / experience. However it is a relaxed environment and everyone's own personal time is respected and put first.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
My placement I learnt a lot and it definitely helped me access other opportunities and build my CV. So in that sense it was incredibly valuable. I think the company being highly remote inhibits a real culture being felt especially in the intern class.
