The Role
I found my work challenging but rewarding
I was a key member of my team.
Helped when needed but mainly left to work independently, not necessarily a bad thing.
Some days very busy, some days literally nothing to do
I was put in charge of a whole project's finances.
Very relevant business work.
The Company
Very good atmosphere, everyone very friendly.
You were left by yourself at the start as senior management is too busy.
A graduate helped teach me everything she knew.
Flexi Time
National Travel
Very appealing
The Culture
Not great, left to organize big parties ourselves.
Central London, so very expensive.
London nightlife is very good
No
