The Role
It's a great place with lots to learn from lots of people.
Colleagues give a lot of value to your opinions, questions, suggestions, etc.
They are always there to answer questions and/or provide support.
Lots of ad hoc tasks in addition to a long-term sort of project, so days turn out to be busy. You still find time to catch up with others over coffee.
Responsibility is definitely there, but they don't put undue pressure on you.
I am learning things I have never been able to learn in school or uni.
The Company
Everybody's a perfect balance of chill and work.
Everything was paced out perfectly.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Really hoping to get a job, as I can really see myself working here.
The Culture
Interns plan to go out every weekend or so.
Canary Wharf's a generally expensive area.
Lots of bars and pubs around the office.
