The Role
I really enjoyed the placement and found the work very challenging.
Everyone was pretty friendly, most people were willing to talk to you if they had the time so that really helped.
I felt like I was well supported and that help was always available if it was needed.
This varied on a fairly day to day basis, it could be very quiet but there were times where I had a lot of work to do.
A lot of my jobs were quite mundane and did not carry much weight, some were a bit more relevant, however I didnt have any qualifications so what you can do is limited.
I think I have developed a few skills quite well such as personal skills along with management and others
The Company
Everyone was friendly and there was quite a relaxed feeling in the office but with a hard working ethic.
The interviews were really well set up along with everything else on my placement, it was extremely well organised.
We were given training for what we had to do at the start of the placement.
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
I found the internship very interesting and would love to work their again on a full time basis.
The Culture
All the other interns were very friendly and we often went out for drinks.
It was pretty average for city costs.
Night life was excellent as it was in london so there was a lot to do.
There were always a lot of opportunities to do stuff outside of work such as various sports if you wanted to.
