I was always exposed to new projects and tasks to work on. One thing I loved about my team is they encouraged me to ask and select some things I wasn't particularly confident on and wanted to work on. From there, they would hand me some tasks which challenged me. With every placement, you get what you put into it. If there is anything you aren`t confident in, ask your manager to set you a relevant task.
Incredible support. There was always someone to help me whenever I got stuck or needed guidance. Everyone is keen to help you, as mistakes are expected along the way.
Everyone is really friendly, and there is a lot of cross collaboration across different teams. You will find yourself getting to know a lot about other departments and how each department works with each other. Also, teams love to get together regularly for some out of work activities which help form close relationships and also makes the placement experience fun!
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and I`m so glad I was able to land this company and role.
