Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I help organise quarterly All Hands Calls, which involves content creation and liaising with different people to pull a show together. I am also involved in rolling out a new reporting initiative which also involves content creation, strategic planning and lots of enablement calls.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given free artistic reign on certain projects and they are broadcasted in all hands calls and uploaded onto our internal platforms. I was also asked to lead calls on those specific projects to brief involved personnel.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Professionally, yes. I really appreciated my team members taking time out of their day to onboard me and enable me to understand the context of the projects I am working on. Pastorally, it just took some courage for me to ask for help, but it was there when I asked for it.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very supportive, and trusting when they let me on the projects that I’m excited about. There were moments when we worked with the wider company that it was chaotic and tense, but internally within my team and the people I normally work with, they’re good.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
My role has changed drastically since I was hired, and when I first joined and was moved into a sub team, I was very out of my depth and didn’t enjoy my work because I couldn’t physically do it because of my skill set. But when I finally voiced my concerns, I was moved back to more of what I was hired to do and was more supported in developing my design skills and it got better after that
