The Role
Everyone treated me with a lot of respect and familiarity
I often had bursts of being very very busy and then some periods of being bored and waiting to be given more jobs to do.
I was given more responsibility than I exected to be so I felt my contribution was really valuable
Not for my degree but it has taught me basics of how a business runs and how different functions work together
The Company
Normally quite quiet
The company invested a lot of time into me - the time spent to give me inductions and teach me about
Subsidised Canteen
The graduate scheme seems very well organised with a lot of time invested into the graduates which is appealing.
The Culture
The fellow interns were very sociable
Expensive as we went to London - Slough not great for socialising
No good nightlife in Slough
There were a few opportunities eg Sports Say
