The Role
I actually enjoyed going into work!
Made me feel so welcome and like part of the team already!
Always given support whenever it was needed.
Generally kept quite busy with work with the odd lull when there was not much that someone at my level could do.
Given as much responsibility as i could have been given the nature of the proffession
Skills I have learnt have more applications in life than the first year of my degree!
The Company
Serious when needed but in general it was enjoyable and fun
Reasonably. Were a few admin problems but i think that was just because it was the first year this internship was run
Invested a great amount on training courses in london etc with the other interns
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
I am waiting to hear whether i can do my placement there but if i can i would love to go back.
The Culture
I was the only one in my office, but whilst we were in London there was!
Normal as i usually live in this area anyway.
