The Role
Really enjoyed the internship, it was well organised, challenging and enjoyable. I also had the chance to meet different people from around the world, expanding my network.
I felt very valued because if I requested a meeting or time to ask questions the full-time employees would always make some time.
My manager gave me lots of guidance and I was given a pack of instructions and expectations as soon as I joined the team.
Very busy daily, slowed down towards the end of the internship but this gave me time to explore personal interests.
Received a good amount of responsibility, was able to call clients and speak about functions to them.
The training I received in analytics helped with my understanding of the academic concepts I studied. The day to day role however was not linked to my degree.
The Company
The atmosphere was very open and friendly. Everyone was very supportive and was definitely the best office atmosphere I have ever experienced.
Very well organised on both the sales and analytics sides. Very well thought out schedule which made objective of internship easy to follow.
Lots of training for the whole internship contingent.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Appealing prospects, full-time role seems like a good opportunity.
The Culture
Very good social scene with drinks at the local bar happening quite frequently. Also interns were from around the world so everyone was open to exploring the city.
Quite high - London
Quite good, lots of variety.
Yes - charity work, summer parties and sports
