I have developed and validated a molecular model to support formulation work. Day to day work consists of data analysis, python, presenting results to internal stakeholders.
Skills
Communication - presenting, communication via online channels. Data analysis, python.

Support & Guidance
Plenty. I had regular support and guidance from two line managers, and others were very approachable and willing to help when needed.
Culture
Friendly, open, helpful. Most people seem genuinely interested in their work and everybody is happy to take the time to speak to you or help.
