Intern Review

The programme is poorly structured: very little social interaction with other interns or other departments, the teams don't have concrete projects, HR is testy when you contact them. They don't want you to learn about the business outside of your team and actively discourage you to. It's a shame because the people there are very willing to help but department heads will try to hold you back and discourage you from finding your own fit, vastly different from the culture at other competing firms.

My manager and team were great and tried to help despite HR. They assigned meaningful projects and answered questions and were never too busy (even though they had loads of work) for me. That being said there is a big lad culture in the firm, particularly on my floor, and I felt treated poorly by some others on other teams.

My manager was great but superiors at a higher level were not great and self absorbed. They did not want to hear non positive feedback on the internship programme even though there are certainly areas of improvement, especially if they want to maintain a world class company.

I had work but was able to get it done pretty quickly. There seemed to be no structure to the programme so they didn't really have enough work for me to do.

I was given a decent amount of real responsibility in the work that I was given, which was nice.

Some skills such as Excel will definitely help but overall I wish I could have learned more.

The office is sleepy but that may be because it is summer, but many work from home.

Compared to other similar firms, very poorly organised. Seems like an afterthought by HR.

There should have been much more training - there maybe was something once a week.

Between the culture and the lack of movement between departments at the firm, I would not want to pursue further employment prospects with this organisation.

The social scene was ok, but was independently organised and nothing was done or encouraged by HR.

Expensive!
