The Role
Interesting and diverse work flow. Support provided whenever needed, but equally responsibilities were received throughout the 10 weeks. Great deal of time and effort invested within my development.
Socials were hosted regularly and I was made to feel welcome from the moment go.
Although busy at times, people would always make time to explain things to you.
Good balance; solid work flow but not relentless. There was time to learn and develop your skills.
Significant responsibility complemented by a strong support network.
Significant amount invested in my development. The skills taught were highly transferable and will assist me going forward in my professional career.
The Company
Very positive atmosphere; everyone took pride and enjoyment in their work.
Zero complaints here.
As per above.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare/Dental
I am certainly keen.
The Culture
Intern group got on very well - group lunches and social events were commonplace.
Expensive, but this is to be expected in London.
Solid, but very different to university nightlife.
Engagement in activities outside of the workplace were widely available and actively encouraged.
