The Role
Everyone was really welcoming and friendly and made the whole experience so much more fulfilling.
There were a couple of days when I was in the office where I struggled to find work. But most of the time I was out at clients and was quite busy.
As an intern, I was given the same level of responsibility that a first year graduate would get.
The Company
From my first day I had a schedule outlining when I would be on each of my clients.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
I lived at a relatives house so my cost of living was negligible apart from travel.
I had a few nights out with my colleagues as well as a department away day.
