The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was given plenty of varying jobs and minimal menial tasks.
I had weekly meetings with my team and had a 'buddy' whom I sat next to and could ask any questions I had to.
I was fairly busy everyday. Naturally on some days I had more to do than others.
Considering the amount of knowledge and previous experience I had had, I was given a considerable amount of responsibility.
I learnt a lot about the skill that I will need in the job and how to relate my university knowledge to projects in the job.
The Company
It was a professional atmosphere but it was obvious that everyone got along well outside of the office, especially within my specific team.
There were plenty of organised internship drinks and events.
The Culture
Fairly expensive in London.
I played in the weekly netball tournament.
