The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and it has been an invaluable experience.
I really felt valued by my colleagues and received regular feedback on how I contributed to the team.
I had regular meetings with my manager and other senior employees to discuss my progress and set new objectives.
I was kept busy on a daily basis, being given new tasks as soon as I had finished my previous ones, which created a stimulating work environment.
I felt I was definitely given more responsibility than expected for an intern.
I have developed a number of skills which will certainly be useful for my future career (e.g. Excel)
The Company
There was a fantastic atmosphere in the office and everyone was open to help if you had any questions.
The internship was well organized and well structured with regular updates on the events which had been set up for us.
Much of my personal development was through day to day tasks however the firm provided us with access to a wealth of online training modules.

The firm has a prestigious reputation and internal mobility is emphasized so future employment prospects are very attractive.
The Culture
There was a good social scene amongst fellow interns and the firm put on social events for us throughout the internship.
London is without doubt an expensive city to live and socialize.
The nightlife in London is so fantastically varied that there is definitely something to suit the taste of everyone.
There were plenty of networking opportunities, sports clubs and intern social events to get involved in.
