The Role
There were points during the internship where I felt as though the work I was doing did not allow me to display my full potential. However, meeting people across the Group and learning about what the other areas of the Group do was thoroughly enjoyable.
All of my colleagues at LBG were incredibly welcoming and were more than happy to offer their time to answer any questions that I had.
My line manager was lovely and incredibly supportive. She provided guidance when I needed it and was always happy to answer any questions that I had. We also had weekly catch-ups so that she could keep up-to-date with what I was working on.
On average, I would say I was relatively busy. If there were ever times where I felt bored or as though I had the capacity to take on more work, I would immediately approach my line manager or other members of my team to ask for more work.
I don't feel as though I was given a great deal of responsibility during the placement.
I've developed many transferrable skills including time management and organisation, which have come with having to meet deadlines.
The Company
My office had the perfect balance between fun and serious. Everyone was relaxed which created a calm working environment. There was a great atmosphere.
There could have been more structure to the internship. For the first few weeks it felt as though we were waiting for work but the work was just not coming in. The various challenges we were set were also relatively disorganised.
I feel as though LBG invested a lot of time in my training and development. Numerous people across the Group took time out of their schedules to speak with us and were more than happy to answer any questions we had.
I'd love to return to LBG in the future because of the development opportunities that are available within the company and the friendly work environment.
The Culture
Yes. I got along with my fellow interns really well and we would organise things to do outside of work, which was really nice.
The cost of living and socialising in London is rather high.
Great.
Not that I was aware of.
