Hi Polycount!
I recently did a 6 week placement (5 weeks paid and because I loved it that much I stayed on as a free intern but due to various reasons, I couldn't continue for longer than a week) at a small company called Border Black Ltd who are located on the Teesside University campus.
This company develops apps for businesses but what makes them stand out is that they include 3D elements in their apps as standard. To make this work they use the Unity engine to power their apps (which as you may already can port to many platforms).
My role while I was there was a 3D Artist. I helped develop some of their apps/demos and updated existing apps/demos. This was the first time I worked with Unity (and I must say its a good engine) and it was my first commercial experience doing 3D art. I thoroughly enjoyed working there!
A more in-depth explanation of my experience is on Behance:
