The Role
Given a lot of responsibilty - different every day
Felt very valued, never treated like an Intern.
regular meetings on a weekly basis at least
Core job role wasn't too busy once I understood it but opportunity to take on more projects
More responsibilty than I anticipated, managing accounts of great value
Should have some good practical skills that I can apply as well as good theoretical knowledge
The Company
Intel is a very social workplace
Excellent training - good support throughout placement
Give the option to do as little or as much as you want to - support you in extra opportunities
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Very appealing - hoping to return
The Culture
Very good - a designated Sports and social team
I lived in a very desirable area which was expensive but other lliving costs were fine
Average - only a small town
There were some but I chose not to, wasn't necessairly aware of too many
