The Role
It was fun and a good experience, got exposed to a lot of different things.
Working on 'real' projects just like other team members, when projects are completed these will add value for colleuges and other teams.
Manager very busy but very friendly, could always ask quick questions but did not have catch up meetings as often as we were meant to.
Some times very busy, sometimes quiet. Most weeks OK balance
Was leaft to handle my own project, make decisions and manage progress.
Very useful practise and skills.
The Company
Everyone was very nice and friendly
Well organised, lots of intern events, suitable projects.
Lots of events organised.
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Hopefully be offered a position at the end of internship.
The Culture
All intern and graduates socialise with each other. Everyone is assigned a buddy so you know people outwith your own team as well.
cheap compared to for example London
Great, something for everyone
a few after work activites like football and other sports.
