Responsibilities
I was given lots of responsibility quite early on which was excellent. It helped me to feel like an integral part of the team as people valued my input and ideas. It's nice to have been able to have the lead on a few projects and deliver them (with colleagues) from start to finish.
Support & Guidance
Plenty of support from my line manager and immediate team. Colleagues are always making sure that I know that I can go to them for any help/support/guidance. There's a real feeling of everyone wanting to help each other; which is a really great thing to have and makes all the difference.
Culture
Company culture is fantastic. Very supportive and everyone really values the collaborative approach. People go above and beyond to help others and it's reciprocated throughout. It's a very pleasant, uplifting place to work.
Your Impressions
I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement and I will genuinely be sad to leave. This whole experience has surpassed any expectations that I had. I've met some truly incredible and inspiring colleagues; that I hope to maintain contact with. I've learnt a vast amount and some of the projects that I've been apart of will inspire and shape my career going forward. A fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Yes
Any opportunity that finds your way to you, take full advantage and make it your own. It might not initially interest you but you'll surprise yourself and if anything learn some of the most important lessons from it. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and suggest ideas; no matter how junior or senior you are, or how long you've worked there, everyone is encouraged to share ideas and collaborate.
