The Role
Had a good time. Interesting and varied work although obviously being a junior meant some of the work was a bit dull
Very helpful and supportive. Great people
Huge number of people happy to help out/ give advice. Extremely supportive supervisor.
While fairly intensive work and long hours was generally an efficient use of time. Certainly not waiting around with nothing to do
Couple of placement long projects for team i was on while also helping out with variety of other things. Some tasks/ jobs/ projects were more independent than others
Very help for career. Some useful things for degree studies but skills developed and training recieved much more career orientated
The Company
Fun people and reasonably relaxed atmosphere but work focussed
Couple of little things but otherwise organisation excellent
Intensive training course prior to start and multiple classes/ lectures during internship
