The Role
Enjoyable work environment and tasks
Great working environment.
Great management was given throughout the internship
I had a constant flow of work to do but was never overloaded
I had responsibility in the internship but never had to handle anything critical
Greatly improved presentation skills and confidence in the work place
The Company
Relaxed and positive.
Was organised fairly well but I had some issues with systems access. Other than that all was totally fine
They invested a great deal in our personal development
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing
The Culture
The social scene was fantastic
I had accommodation for free and food and drink was cheap
Didn't really experience it past bars but it was enjoyable
Not an awful lot of extra curricular activities but we did a variety
