Responsibilities
Yes, and it could've been increased/decreased as needed. My manager especially was very attentive of my workload and regularly placed me in calls even just to observe.
Support & Guidance
Excellent, especially from my line manager and senior staff - everyone was more than happy to help and super friendly.
Culture
Extremely friendly, not corporate at all, very relaxed, very autonomous, not hierarchical at all. You could randomly speak to anyone and they were always nice.
Your Impressions
Extremely enjoyed it. I wouldn't find this kind of workplace anywhere else, and I think it was insanely lucky to be my first internship, because it can only go down from here, the bar was set so high.
Yes
Just be yourself, the personalities were so varied, as were the cultures and backgrounds. They don't have a "type". Just be competent, personable and kind.
