The Role
- Good management - Lots of responsibilities - Great people to work with - Work/life balance
By the end of my internship, I received an email from the head of my department saying thanks for my work - That's enough said :)
We worked on hot desks so I was sitting next to my manager and my manager's manager most of the time. Was very easy to ask for guidance. My boss was the best teacher.
Fairly busy, depends on what project
I was a crucial member of the team
Massive increase in commercial awareness and business manner
