The Role
Really enjoyed it, was pleasantly surprised.
As inters, you don't expect to be given a huge amount of responsibility, although work given was usually used in client proposals etc.
Help is always readily available, and there are a large variety of people willing to guide you.
There is always work you can do and get on with
Not a huge amount - only 6 weeks internship and withing TAS we rotated, this was not enough time to get intensively involved.
Huge amount can be related back to modules studied in economics degree
The Company
Mostly really relaxed, calm and friendly
Really pleasantly surprised - well organised, nobody was ever confused.
Definately a huge amount of time - had Office/IT training and inductions getting use to EY systems etc.
Company Parties/Events
Got a job offer
The Culture
Group of interns always willing to go for a drink or do something after work.
London is bound to come at a premium
London sums it up, cant get better.
