IT Business Management intern Review

I generally enjoyed the internship. The company is a nice place to work in and people are nice but there are a few things I would improve.

Everybody in the office is very friendly and always willing to help.

My manager is amazing, very flexible and gives me meaningful and interesting work to do.

I would say I was more bored than too busy. I didn't really have any crazy busy days, but it sometimes happened that I wasn't given enough workload and didn't really know what to do during my working time.

I was responsible for important improvements within my division therefore I feel like my work was really meaningful.

I am sure that the project and time management skills as well as networking skills will be very useful in the future.

People were friendly and willing to chat. Some more than others, but that's the case everywhere.

I would say that the overall organisation of the internship was good. What I didn't like was the fact that I lived in a different city and worked in a different town. The commute took 3 hours each day and I wasn't given an opportunity to work from home like other interns. I feel that I would enjoy my internship much more if it wasn't for the long commute. Also, I feel that it would make it easier if all interns were given photo badges instead of temporary badges as there was always a problem when travelling to other offices/wanting to work from other offices. One of the interns I know was given a photo badge but the rest of us weren't.

I think that the company gave me very good networking opportunities. I was able to speak to many different people located in different offices in the UK (that often involved travelling) which I really liked.

I would say that the opportunities are quite good. For permanent employees, it is a very friendly organisation. Flexible working hours and the possibility to work from home would definitely make it a good place to work in. Also, there are many division and teams here which are located throughout the UK, therefore everybody would find a role in a city that would work for them.

I know that other interns went out together. Never really went out with them though as I had my own circle of people to socialise with.

Cheaper then where I go to university so I was quite happy about that.

No in the area I worked in but lived in. I had to commute 1.5 hours one way to work each day. Obviously didn't have time to go out too much during the week cause I spent 3 hours commuting. But generally in the city I stayed in there were many bars and clubs.

Yes, all interns had to get involved in the charity challenge in which we raised many for Mental Health UK and raised awareness of the mental health issues. Sometimes we would go for lunch together with the team, but that was only in the other offices that I was visiting, not the main office were I was based.
