Responsibilities
The amount of responsibility I was given gradually increased overtime. I was encouraged to speak up if things were overwhelming but felt trusted to work on things independently.
Support & Guidance
I was always given guidance and support when I needed it or asked, however I was at the same time pushed to problem solve for myself when there were challenges to overcome. This balanced enabled me to become responsible and develop in a safe environment. There was plenty of training available for development at my disposal.
Culture
There was a huge emphasis of the company culture - even before there was a refresh of it. Employees are consistently reminded on the company culture through various communications, office artwork and meetings. This made the company really feel like a place you can be proud to work for.
Your Impressions
The placement was an amazing experience for both personal and professional development. I have enjoyed my placement immensely and would recommend it to anyone thinking of applying. It is a challenging year but very much worth it.
Yes
Research the company culture and see if it aligns with your own ethics. If you are successful in your application, ask for opportunities in other areas of the business if you are interested.
