The Role
Provided an excellent insginth into the industry
Really good team, although very busy, so not much time to value your work
Really good support in the first few weeks

More so as the internship progressed
The work was not very related to my degree although the skills learned e.g. time management will be very useul for my degree and into the future
The Company
Very busy but the atmosphere was good
Really well organised. Many scheduled events and very informative HR department
Provided with a week of solid training and constantly being taught new skills throughout the internship
Would like to be able to join the firm
