The Role
It was very insightful and my team was very supportive and helpful in guiding me so far.
I feel very valued and my colleagues give me feedback at everything I do and encourage me to try new things.
My manager has answered all questions I have asked him and guided me at every step.
Initially not so much but got busy over the weeks.
Given responsibility making presentations, and leading groups and handling independent projects.
The internship has helped me develop on transferable skills which would help me a great deal at university and beyond - especially approaching people and speaking to them.
The Company
Very friendly, helpful and fun!
Not so organised in terms of structure but more about taking your own initiative to do things.
Yes, with weekly catch-ups with my manager and guidance every time I had a question, the firm invested a great deal in developing my skills and knowledge.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Pretty interesting roles and exciting new projects in the pipeline.
The Culture
Yes, doing the charity challenge, everyone organised a lot of social events and gatherings to meet other interns.
Socialising - £5-20/day (depending on the social activity) Cost of living - unsure
Lots of pubs and cocktail bars around to go.
Yes - charity challenges and a few volunteering opportunities
