The Role
Really enjoyed my time at Sparx
There were lots of things to work on and a good amount of time was allowed for all.
The Company
The general atmosphere in the office was relaxed and enjoyable.
The internship was very well organised with different projects to keep the work interesting.
There was time to learn new skills such as learning to program in R with materials provided by Sparx.

The Culture
The interns are all accommodated in a flat together this makes for a good social scene. In addition there were many social events put on by Sparx.
The cost of living was very cheep as Sparx paid for our accommodation, in addition the socialising was good
There were many opportunities, particularly in a variety of sports
