    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • The programme leads were absolutely amazing. Any issue I was able to talk freely through with them and they were always available to offer advice. There’s opportunity for mentorship outside of your team as well as support from your line manager and colleagues. It’s also lovely to be a part of a large intern cohort who can also support you.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • A great culture, super friendly and work/life balance focused. Only comment would be the lack of women in leadership positions, as well as some more old fashioned thinking but that’s where the interns become more valuable in pushing a different ethos.
