Responsibilities
Was trusted with tasks to the extent that I didn't require supervision and even a portion of some projects - a reasonable amount of responsibility.
Support & Guidance
Plenty - regular 1 to 1's and always checked up on. Given tasks, guidance and support if I ever felt like I needed more.
Culture
Great culture!! Very friendly people and not too formal, perfectly relaxed and makes working fun! Never been made to feel redundant or unwanted, the department I'm in are extremely welcoming and I couldn't have asked for better.
Your Impressions
Very high extent! Had multiple opportunities to develop my skills, engage with things I really cared about like volunteering and diversity initiatives. There was so many social events to get involved in, and so many work opportunities I got to enjoy. It's an amazing company to have your internship at, you get to meet so many wonderful people and learn things you never knew before.
Yes
Don't hold back because people are willing to listen to you and value you no matter your position in the company.
