  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My Line manager was great, and always helped me if I needed her to. As the desk layout is very open, I could easily and happily go and talk to our Global Head of department if I wanted to, which meant that I never felt 'lower' than anyone else.
