Was given lots of responsibility, more than expected from a placement. I was trusted with lots of responsibility early on which helped my development. Support was there if needed, but the expectation was that I would get on and do.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Specific team is very good, although the wider culture is rather strict. Work and company is very fast paced, so can be very sink or swim. Naturally the company culture could be a lot better, although this is the case everywhere. The company still remains a great place to work.
