The Role
Good for variety of experience in different areas of the business.
Since it was only a one week placement, did not have a large interaction with colleagues.
Great support and guidance from those that were shadowed and those organising the event.
Very busy for the entire time, but all time spent was valuable and was not overwhelming at any point.
Not much responsibility given during the short time i was there.
Many opportunities to develop valuable skills to carry forward.
The Company
Great atmosphere, very friendly and enjoyable.
Extremely well organised.
A fair amount of time spent training my skills for the short time I was there
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing for future longer internship.
The Culture
Great social scene, plenty of time and opportunities provided to socialise.
Fairly expensive since central London.
Great night life, was in London.
Multiple opportunities provided within the short time of the week.
