The Role
Nice company to work for, brilliant people
Felt very valued as an intern
Lots of 1 to 1 meetings, lots of feedback
Only one or two very busy days, most days were quite chilled out
Not a large amount of responsibility but that can be expected as an intern
Very useful, learnt lots of skills - social skills, how to be more professional, computing skills, stakeholder management etc.
The Company
Very nice atmosphere, especially for a London office. Everyone was always open to questions and offering help.
Need more events to bring interns together, more social side
The balanced score card we fill out was excellent for development
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Good job with good pay, nice people to work with and the potential to move quickly up the organisation
The Culture
Not enough was done to bring interns together and we organised most of the events ourselves
London is very expensive! Especially travel...
London is great for nightlife, has plenty of bars and clubs
Leaving drinks and a volunteering day, but apart from that there weren't many activities.
