The Role
A lot of exposure to the nature of the industry and great networking opportunties. HR also organised a number of very good social events
Feel a great part of the team and other around me. Everyone was very welcoming
Management able to help me where required. Other interns and colleagues at the company also willing to help
Varied levels of work. Had busy times and less busy times
Good amounts of responsibility. However, due to nature of the industry difficult to hand out large amounts of responsibility without lots of training
Learnt a huge amount about corporate life and dealing with high profile stakeholders
The Company
Parts of the office vary, depending on team.
Lots of events during first and last week. A lot of tasks inbetween organised my desk management

The Culture
Interns always willing to go out and organise events during weekends
