The Role
My overall experience was very satisfying and people in the company were extremely helpful
Although people from my team were busy they always answered all of my questions and helped when necessary
Although my manager was busy and sometimes travelling we had weekly check ins and was extremely supportive and up to date with every stage of the project
Every day we had meetings and things to finish around the project. Overall, the beginning of the internship was the busiest period
Tasks around the project were split into group members and everyone had their own responsibility at all times
The methodologies used throughout the project were extremely helpful and I now used them in daily basis
The Company
Everything around the office was great, it was a very good environment to work in and be a part of
All interns meetings were carefully organised making sure that every individual is happy within their team and in the office
To a great extend, our introduction meeting and videos made sure that we know what the company and people from the team are doing and when our role was
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
I was offered a graduate position due to my success during the internship
The Culture
Yes, we had different networking events almost every week where we could meet students and senior leaders
Since I did not need to change my location I did not have any extra cost of living
Since the office is situated within the city centre there were a lot of opportunities of going out
Not that many since I was there only for 10 weeks but there are different clubs that everyone can take part in
