The Role
Such a lovely company to work for! People are awesome!
Was never treated like an intern! Was seen as a permanent member of staff.
My boss gave me a lot of support throughout.
Very busy! I was part of an extremely busy department - but this made the experience more fulfilling.
I had my own work load, but checked all the important bits with my boss.
I am no longer a student, but the skills I learnt will be invaluable for my career going forward. It set the scene for my professional life.
The Company
Training courses, commercial briefings, weekly German lessons, Porsche Driver Training. Anything I needed for my job, all I had to do was ask.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
A large proportion of the interns get kept on after their placement. If there is headcount / space and you do a good job - you will be considered to stay.
The Culture
Went out at least weekly! Permanent staff memebers also got involved. We ate lunch together everyday and went for walks at lunch in the local area.
Always something to do - places to eat, drink and party
