The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the CPB
Depending on the day/week work came in waves but created my own projects in order to stay busy and learnt a great deal from doing this.
Much more than I expected.
Learnt an enormous amount from being on the floor & speaking to so many different people.
The Company
Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful which really allowed me to develop my learning about the business & allowed me to enjoy my experience and look forward to coming in.
The HR coordinator for the CPB Natalie was extremely well organised and coordinated and organised events and things for us extraordinarily well which we all really appreciated.
I don't think I was a priority as I was only here for 10 weeks but when people had time they always helped and taught me things and many even made time for me so I felt that a lot was invested in me.
Very, I especially loved the culture and the people which I think is one of the most vital things when deciding where to work.
The Culture
Yes, among most of the interns but would have been nice to meet more younger people in the department, we did have our buddies though which was very nice.
London prices
Very nice atmosphere after work, good place to be sociable.
Not that I heard about, the men have a football team but I do believe they are starting a CPB women's network which may add to opportunities
