The Role
Very up and down but usually had something to do. I worked on two projects, one of which was very quiet and the other was very busy (8-11 at times).
Prepared reports for a client CEO
Great overview of strategic approaches and my client communication skill were improved too
The Company
Very busy but everyone took time out to make me feel welcome
Couldn't fault it.
I was assigned a buddy and given worthwhile work to get on with, being shown lots of useful things along the way. Lots of networking opportunities etc too with specialist nights put on.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Everyone was very busy but made time to socialise.
Central London! If you look around though you don't have to pay a fortune.
Central London, anything you could ask for.
Lots of clubs and events, the only limit was my free time.
