The Role
Really enjoyed my year!
I was definitely not treated like ' the intern'. I always had the chance to speak and voice my opinions and what I said was valued.
I was very lucky with my team, I could ask anyone of them for some help and it would always be given.
Naturally there are busy and quiet times. Though I was always proactive to find jobs whenever it was quiet.
I was very lucky to work closely with major clients and lead a project.
I study Business and Communication - I have most certainly developed skills which I will keep for life. Being hands-on is by far the nest way to learn and develop what you learn in a lecture.
The Company
Fantastic team, we did lots of lunches out, team drinks and social occasions. I was the only intern in the team so thought maybe I would feel a little isolated, but this was definitely not the case.
My task manager was fantastic in my personal development and giving me advice. I feel like it would have been better to be able to spend some more time with my Early Professionals manager, however I was always able to email him.
I felt very valued within my team. Though from a Foundation perspective and future career I know not many interns come back as graduates, so just hope I can come back!

Working from home
I would love to come back
The Culture
There was, however London is very expensive. I chose to commute from home, so I didn't fully apply myself into the social occasions.
London prices - enough said!
Brilliant but expensive
Yes there are, but I didn't see much advertised
