Yes. I was tasked with a lot of crucial tasks that really enhanced the team's efficiency. I was given great autonomy in my approach too, which enabled me to discover new approaches.

I received overwhelming support from across the business. This includes from my line manager, people outside of my division, as well as my disability mentor.

It is absolutely amazing. It challenges me to perform to the best of my abilities, while at the same time enables me to strike a good work-life-balance.

I never applied or gone through the interview process so cannot comment on that. I would love to have known that amazing firms such as M&G existed, and if I had known how my experience would be like, I would have definitely applied.
