The Role
It was extremely insightful and well organised.
They were very welcoming, encouraging and helpful.
They were great and even though I obviously was not trained or able to do many tasks they still talked me through them so I could gain an understanding.
I was lucky to be doing my internship at a busy time for my department so I was always occupied.
I was given a suitable amount of responsibility for my position, with many checks on all my work.
I can't say I can apply the work I did to my degree. However, the general interactions with colleagues and clients will help in future employment.
The Company
Everyone was friendly and approachable. However it was very clear that people were there to work and everyone had stuff to be getting on with.
Very well organised, with lots of opportunities to feedback at all times
My department spent a lot of time teaching me and ensuring I was gaining something from the experience
Sports and Social Club
I have been offered a job with the company
The Culture
Yes, we had whole internship and departmental socials.
I was working in London so it was very expensive
I was in London so there was a huge variety
Yes if I had wanted to, the work hours would have made it possible.
