The Role
Overall was a fantastic opportunity and very good experience
Less than I would have liked but still somewhat.
Good support and regular guidance with development
Would have liked more work to do on a regular basis
Would have liked more responsibility
Not necessarily applicable to my degree but definitely useful for future life skills.
The Company
A lively and fun atmosphere
Overall it was well planned and co-ordinated.
Invested time in my training and a few speakers. Not much else though.
Company Parties/Events
Would like to come back to the organisation.
The Culture
Regular intern organised events.
Live at home but socialising is expensive. Drinks are expensive.
Good nightlife in London. Plenty of bars and clubs around.
Very few opportunities were presented to be involved in activities outside of work.
