The Role
The people were very friendly and did a great job of ice-breaking between the interns on the first day.
It was a week's placement so we didn't have too much to do with one person, but everyone was friendly.
Supervisors were very helpful and offered to support us whenever we required it
Never felt like I had too much or too little free time.
In just the week Insight, I wasn't expecting too much responsibilty
The skills were not so useful for my degree but I can see them being invaluable in later life.
The Company
Everyone seemed to be happy to work there.
There were never any hiccups and everything flowed very well.
In just a week Insight they did more than enough.
Subsidised Canteen
If i was offered, I would definitely take it.
The Culture
Everyone was very interested in enjoying the week, and we did.
RBS covered most expenses except dinner.
I didn't really get to use it in just the week.
If I had had more time, then I would have been able to get involved more I believe.
