Responsibilities
This is dependent on your manager and nature of work. For my second half of placement yes, i was able to be given full responsibility to speak to internal and external stakeholders, advise in meetings and consistently pushed to take more on. This was excellent for personal and professional development.
Support & Guidance
Plenty of support and guidance but its best to speak to other interns/grads as they will know more generic questions. Its likely the grad will also know someone who is in the same role as you.
Culture
Overall very positive and friendly. No barrier to speak to seniors. Good early careers community an plenty of social events. However very limiting ethnically in the south coast region.
Your Impressions
Overall i really enjoyed my placement, it is a company i would come back to for my grad scheme and would recommend the business to anyone. If you are after diverse cultures, i would recommend the DI business unit not Maritime.
Yes
Have a methodical approach to your answers. Break it down and make sure you outline risks, assumptions and dependencies. Speak about projects you have done, the challenges, how you engaged and overcame challenges.
