2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

Really close knit team, could go to my manager about anything, whenever. Was part of a small team which helped overcome challenges at the start and still in touch with now after finishing my year.

3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

As mentioned above could go to my manager about anything, even if not directly work related about issues I was having or problems understanding some aspects of the role. Made easy by having understanding members of the team who had already been in my position.

Started really busy but once adjusted to the role and found how to be more time efficient made time elsewhere, did drop off towards the end due to pandemic.

5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

Fair amount, always encouraged to go and venture outside the tasks of just one team and see other aspects of the organisation, which helped see how other departments operated.

Will transfer all skills learnt into next job, even the little things such as getting use to the work place environment and how to professionally construct an email which will stick with me.
