The Role
The team that I was working with were very friendly and helped me in all ways they could.
Both director and associate freely gave helpful advice on graduate recruitment and APC
The work load varied significantly. Most would give me work where they could, but being in August it was naturally a quiet month.
The Company
I was out on several occassions with the office and the staff were very inclusive and good fun.
The internship was very structured, receiving a timetable of activities for the month on the day of arrival.
Everyone that I have spoken to regarding training and graduate training has been very helpful and given advice.
I will definiately be applying to the graduate recruitment program and would be very happy to work there in the future.
The Culture
The interns went out on several occassions for drinks and dinner and had a rounders game with current graduates
Being in London, the costs of living was very expensive. However there are alot of happy hours and a good discounts around the area making socialising alot cheaper than it would be ordinarily.
Very good atmosphere.
I went out with other employees and interns on a regular basis
