The Role
The structure of the internship was amazing, activities every week, got involved in a group project! A Great internship!
Loved the other intern, great to work with as they had similar personalities! Everyone has a work hard play hard attitude!
To be honest not too much, here they encouraged you to manageyour own time/day, see mentors if you want. If you dont understand a task, try and find out yourself!
I was quite busy. but i felt as though I could have done more while being here! I kind of created work for myself so I dont get bored.
Not much reponsibilities were given, I was prepared for more!
Definately skills for life, learning corporate values, project management skill irreplaceable!
The Company
People are very friendly, but not very inspiring team spirit as they are mostly on the phone to international clients.
Well organised by the HR, it could have been better if the HR co-ordinated with the line manager in advance so managers knew our plans and what we were supposed to do.
Yes definately. I would of liked more from the focus days though.
Subsidised Canteen
Yes definately a place I would like to be.
The Culture
Quite expensive in Canary Wharf
Just great!
We always organised events outside of work.
