The Role
Great team, great atmosphere, the work I did was both challenging and satisfying. I was given a lot of responsibility and independence when completing my project
The nature of my project meant I was doing something completely different to what my team does on a day-to-day basis. As a result, it felt very individual at times - which wasn't too bad
Great guidance and support was available from anybody in the building.
Some days were definitely crazier then others, but nothing a bit of time management couldn't solve.
Complete responsibility and accountability for the success and failures of my project.
I learned more in the first 6 weeks, then I did for the first 2 years at university.
The Company
Relaxed, yet professional.
My project hadn't been outlined fully at the start, as a result a lot of unanticipated challenges arose.
I was expected to learn the technologies on my own.
There were 0 perks to the internship, but I did learn a lot.
The Culture
Everyone was friendly
