The Role
The company culture stuck out as the best thing about my internship. Everyone was always very welcoming.
I felt comfortable with all the members, regardless of their seniority
I became very busy as I learnt more about the industry in general. More trust was put in me in the latter weeks of my placement which meant I became really busy.
I was only there for 6 weeks so there was a limited amount of responsibility given. However, I did take my own training session by providing a presentation to my team.
They would help with prioritising but I'm finished now anyway.
The Company
All of the team gave me their time and various members ran through training sessions with me. I didn't feel awkward about going to the team members and asking them questions about my day-to-day tasks. The HR department ran good soft-skills sessions too.

Company Parties/Events
The Culture
The team often had social events but there wasn't much for the interns and colleagues of my age. I didn't end up getting to know the other interns that well.
Not classic. There wasn't much that really went on very late.
A few but the team events seemed quite established already
