The Role
It was very very very interesting. I learnt a lot and meet really good people.
People were very nice to me. It might my french culture that insists on the fact that your colleagues are not your friends that led me not to be very close to other people in the office.
Your need to be very proactive.
It depends on the moment. Some days are very very busy and some others are totally empty.
As a new joiner you always have to prove yourself.
It is going to be very useful in the years to come.
The Company
People are very friendly to each other.
Actually i'm not sure there is much to plan.
I had the chance to be able to take any courses i wanted.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
I'm applying to get the job.
The Culture
Nights out were organized and evrybody got along very well.
London is quite expensive compared to Paris.
All the interns could meet very often.
There were opportunities but I did not grab them all !
