The Role
Had lot's of fun events and all my colleagues were very friendly.
Appreciated the work I did
Whenever I had a problem/or was given a task I was given appropriate guidance.
I had busy days and not too busy days (depending on the client), but mostly just right.
I had the ability to use my judgement to get a job done.
As an A&F student they're definitely useful.
The Company
Lot's of fun events!
Eevrything seemed as if it was organised well in advance. No hiccups along the way.
Limited amounts on the 6 week internship.
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Not a very difficult conversion.
The Culture
Definitely
