The Role
It was awesome, challenging, but entertaining at the same time.
It is a competitive company, but everyone values and helps everyone in need.
My mentor was very helpful, especially at the beginning when I wasn't sure about what I have to use and how to use it.
Not very stressful, but I had to put in consistent work in order to get everything planned done.
I was told from the beginning that what I was about to do will be very helpful for the team, so I knew from then that I had quite a lot of responsibility, which I enjoyed and thrived on.
I've learned a lot of new technologies (including a new programming language from scratch) which I'm sure I'll be using a lot in the future.
The Company
Relaxed, it was the perfect environment to work in, in my opinion.
Very much so, from the trainings at the beginning to all the events throughout the internship.
The first two weeks were entirely for training, I was assigned a personal mentor I could ask any questions I had, so I'd say the firm invested quite a lot of time and resources to train us.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Very much so.
The Culture
Yes, quite a lot of networking events specially designed to bring all interns from all departments together.
About 1500 pounds a month for accommodation plus other living expenses.
Quite vibrant.
Yes, some of them were even organised by the company.
