Summer Scheme Student Intern Review

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was given lots of work to do and everyone in the team was eager to teach me skills. Additionally, whenever I asked questions they would give me in-depth answers to ensure that I fully understood the answer to the questions I asked them. It was a really good month.

I was fully welcomed into the team and they were all very friendly. They appreciated a lot the work that I carried out for them, and would always thank me for the work that I did. I never felt under-valued, even though I was only with them for a short period of time on an internship.

Always ensured that I had work to do, and made sure that I achieved all the goals that I wanted to during my placement. Would email me in the mornings with daily tasks for me to achieve that day. Fully supportive in all the work that I carried out during my internship.

Always kept busy, helping out other members of the team on a daily basis. Whenever I had finished a piece of work or project, I would ask what I could do next and the team were always forthcoming with tasks for me to carry out for them. If they had no work then they would recommend me things to research.

Even within the first week I was given a good level of responsibility and towards the end this increased. The work I carried out was essential for other members of the team, so this shows how they valued the work I did for them. I would say I had a good level of responsibility for my position.

I have gained invaluable skills and experience during my placement that I will use in any job or career that I pursue in the future. In particular, I have improved my communication skills through talking to members of the team, other people in the office, and during networking events for the company.

The general atmosphere was good. People were always willing to talk about their job roles and what they did on a day to day basis. Everyone seems to get along well and it is nice coming into an office environment that is like this; it makes you fell very welcome.

It was very well organised. I was always well informed, both before and during my placement, through regular email correspondence. I was provided with a detailed schedule of regional activities throughout my placement that I could use as a guideline. I was also provided with a project to complete during the month.

They invested a good level of their time and really helped me understand the importance of keeping in contact with people that you have worked with. They helped me develop my office skills and supported me throughout the internship, on ways in which I could develop. I felt well supported throughout.

Very appealing. I have been provided with an excellent level of understanding about the pathways I can take within the office. I would happily work for this company in the future because I have enjoyed my month's internship a lot. They are also very highly regarded in the sector, and I would love to work for a company like this.

The social scene was good, I was always invited to events and social occasions.

Relatively cheap social life, but more expensive than some area.

I did not experience too much nightlife.

Yes, I was always invited out for activities outside of work.
