    Culture

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my placement - it totally over exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect or what I could get involved in but a fun, supportive team paired with creative, challenging work has been great. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction into the workplace and start to my career.
