The Role
Very friendly atmosphere, people from all the departments are really keen to introduce you to their roles.
Having a personal mentor who is responsible for you enhanced a lot the guidance process.
I was involved on a really interesting project so I was quite busy,
The project I was involved it was an actual project with immediate application.
Lunch and Learn Session extremely useful. I developed personal professional skills by taking part in serious meeting and Excel skills in a professional environment.
The Company
Friendly and professional.
Mentor, "buddy", lunch and learn sessions, specific project to be involved.
If you have a genuine interest on Commodities is the place in which you want to work.
The Culture
There was a social day with a trip to London and drinks after. Can be improved with a leaving social event at the end of the internship cause it stops abruptly.
The offices are located in the heart of London, plenty of choices to go after work.
