The Role
I enjoyed it a lot
I felt quite valued
I was given support at all times
I was quite busy but I also had time to explore aspects of the business
I was given enough responsibility for an intern
I feel time management will be quite helpful in y final year at university. I have also developed skills to analyze the deeper aspects of everything I do.
The Company
The office atmosphere was quite encouraging, Being an intern this made me feel quite comfortable and allowed me to ask a variety of questions.
The internship was quite well organized. There were structured events throughout.
Yes there were numerous lunch and learn sessions organized by the company to develop our skills to better perform at work.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental
Travel loan
I have already secured an offer for graduate employment
The Culture
I feel the social scene could have been much better with post work company organized and subsidized events with interns from other offices.
The cost was quite high in the areas surrounding the office I was based at.
The nightlife was quite happening
Yes, to a certain extent. There were sports activities however the period of my internship was quite small to get in involved. I did get a chance to participate in a conference type event held outside of work.
