The Role
Excellent learning curve. Really friendly people always happy to help. Good structure of training at the beginning.
Very valued. Always was shown appreciation after doing a piece of work. Had an intern welcome lunch and was encouraged to attend all socials.
Was always given support when required and reassured that help was always at hand.
Reasonably busy. At the beginning, there was less work available but LCP give projects that interns can do as background work when client work is not available.
A good amount of responsibility. Its always difficult to give too much responsibility to an intern but I did feel very valued.
Excellent team working skills and presentation skills developed. My communication skills were given a complete makeover. Was an excellent personal development opportunity.
The Company
Very friendly and social atmosphere. Senior staff always happy to help graduate staff. Really felt like a team.
Very well organised. First week and half of second week was all training, which we given timetables for. We also were given 4 projects to do throughout the internship duration, timetables were issued for this as well.
Heavily invested, especially in the training in the first week, which felt like university, as there was so much knowledge given to me.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing, would love to carry on working here.
The Culture
Yes, everyone was up for getting involved in competitions and sports events - we played lawn games regularly at lunch times and even went go karting as a social.
Reasonable cost comparable to being in the south of England.
Winchester is a quiet city in terms of nightlife.
Yes many, already discussed.
