The Role
Really ejoyed the internship. Had tge chance to be involved in a lot of exciting projects from the start and had a really nice team who I could ask questions to at any time which made it easier to understand complex projects.
My collegues were very supportive and always gave detailed feedback about my work. There was lots of time to get involved in team activities outside work too which made the atmosphere pleasant
Management gave lots of support but also let me get on with things on my own and take a lead in projects which was enjoyable as it gave me a good understanding of tasks. Managment always made it clear what they expected me to deliver and by when.
Yes always had tasks and the work load was comfortably challenging as so it wasn't overwhelming but I still felt busy and like I was contributing to projects.
Lots! I had the chance to speak directly to clients, write reports and briefings that made it to the final product and my market research was used a lot.
i learnt how to effectively communicate with clients. communication and team work skills, analytical thinking, critical reasonng, strategic decision making, policy analysis, valuation and appraisals which will alll ve usefull in my future career and beyond as these are essential skills employers look for which can not always be demonstrated through a degree alone.
The Company
good friendly atmosphere, outgoing team members, everyone always checking on each other and speaking between tasks so I can't complain.
good induction in the london office on what to expect and a day in the life of an intern. excellent skype training sessions. i always new what to do when i got into work and my time was well arranged and spent.
lots of skye conference training courses and talks on continuing professional development (cpd) as well as constant access to workday elearning courses to top up my knowledge in weaker areas.
Company Parties/Events
Travel loan
extremely appealing. i will be applying for a graduate position there
The Culture
yes there was lots of work social events or department gatherings.
i stayed at home so my cost of living was cheap i just had to pay for transport and work payed in advance for any social activities undertaken.
very good lots of bars, restuarants and activities as well as many options for those that don't drink
yes in sports teams and support groups or informal gatherinfs
