CRB Intern Review

I enjoyed many aspects of my internship. Learning and being in a corporate environment allowed me to gain an insight into the field of work I may or may not want to get into. I also enjoyed the ability to learn on the job and get a crash course into the industry

I felt that my opinion was valued and I felt I was allowed the opportunity to talk. Additionally whenever I found anything difficult in my work or in general, everyone was incredibly approachable and I enjoyed my time learning under the various people I encountered in my 8 weeks here.

I felt that I was guided and given a good direction to go to. There were times where I found something difficult and didn't know exactly who to go to and was left to my own devices. However I enjoyed the autonomy and could always ask for the adequate help necessary

I was busy on a daily basis, with a comprehensive project that I had to oversee I was constantly in meetings. In the times I did not have work I proactively shadowed members of my team to ensure that my time was being spent wisely, efficiently and to learn about the business.

I was incrementally given responsibility in my placement to the point where I started managing my schedule and in full autonomy of the work I did in a various day. I felt that I was put in the deep end and outside my comfort zone at times but I learnt a lot about myself and the company.

I have learnt many key skills that will help me for my degree as well as my whole life. I have learnt the value in organisation, time keeping and paying particular attention to deal in life. These skills are invaluable and necessary for life and I'm glad that a corporate environment allowed me to enhance my skillset.

The general atmosphere was very enjoyable with people always having a smile on their face. It seemed to me that everyone relatively enjoyed coming to work and that lended to an atmosphere I enjoyed daily. Whilst I only spent time mainly on my floor it seemed like other floors were the same.

The overall placement was set up incredibly well. Willis Towers Watson put a lot of thought into us. They organised many socials, as well as volunteering days to give back to those less fortunate. We also had a specific 2 day induction to allow us to settle in seamlessly into the business.

I think they put a lot of investment in us. They entrusted us with real world and meaningful projects to the company and allowing us to present our findings to many people in the business. They also took us to many social events and overall have a dedicated team to ensure our enjoyment.

I feel that this place can be a meritocracy but as with all companies there are internal politics. I do believe that WTW people would be willing to help

I enjoyed working with my fellow interns. Being put into a team presentation with group projects and working alongside all of them was fun. Also we ended up having lunch with each other everyday and regularly used the end of the day to catch up and enjoy each others company.

Central London is very expensive and socialising cost a lot of money.

I have not experienced the nightlife in London.

There were many social societies such as many sports club.
