The Role
Good balance of hard work and enjoyment
Got involved in social events with the team and other people from my zone.
Was walked through very tough tasks but not patronised.
Always had something to do.
No more or less responsibility than I would expect as an intern.
Excel and other workplace skills were improved noticably.
The Company
Fairly quiet back office but never dull
Excellent administration of the scheme.
Lots of opportunities to learn and develop.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Very strong, very keen to take on interns.
The Culture
Weekly drinks were always nice.
London is expensive
Lots of City-type bars and pubs
Plenty of chances for sports, charity work etc.
