The Role
GExcatly what i wanted out of an internship.
I went out on socials and to the pub with all the team. I met up with the other interns even though i was not in their office. It has a good work atmosphere
You were supported but at the say time you were expected to perform highly so they would expect you to work a lot out by yourself. i enjoyed that aspect though.
I was always very busy and their was too much work to do in the time but that was the best thing about the placement. You don't want to be sitting around bored.
I was given actual project work that a client was paying for so I had a lot of responsibility. i had to work directly with the client.
Good training programs are available although i prefered to learn as i went so opted out of a lot of the courses. the work gave great insight into working within teams on technical projects.
The Company
I was not at the companies office (which I am told had a great atmosphere) I was at a clients office but it was still great fun.
They took on a large number on interns for the size of the company and they are very good at it.
This was tailor done depending on what skills or training you required. I just got stuck in on the project and learnt that way.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
I will strongly consider them as a future employer.
The Culture
Everyone was up for a good party1
It was central london so it wasn't cheap.
Had many a good evening.
Yes there were a lot of oppprtunities but it was a question of if you could find the time.
