The Role
Good internship, great colleagues and work that was very relevant to my course.
Very valued - they were happy with the work I was doing and I was treated like one of the team. They also helped me out with any problems I had.
Loads. I was helped out as much as I needed throughout the year and I did not feel guilty asking for help the whole time!
Average. At times the tasks were quite menial and they only took a while because I was so bored.
Not a huge amount - I was mainly just given tasks to do for one manager.
Part of my course is economics and I am interested in accounting so this was very useful. However the job was very specific, and I feel the skills I learnt may not be that useful in the wider workplace.
The Company
Good. There was quite a lot of banter between my colleagues and I always had a laugh with the other interns. Everyone knew when to separate work from fun.
Very organised and I was given weekly tasks and review points.
A fair amount. I was given all the right tools I needed to do by job but not much else.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
The chances of getting on the grad scheme are pretty high, I feel they were pretty impressed with my performance.
The Culture
Yeah really good we went out as a group most weeks and always had lunch together.
Pretty high being in London and I had a huge overdraft to pay off so couldn't spend a massive amount.
Awesome. So many bars but price was usually an issue!
Not really anything except the few nights out we had as a team.
