The Role
Great job. Great people. Great company.
Can connect with colleague both professionally and socially. Everyone is very open, honest and helpful.
Supported via a number of way. Intern handover period, 'buddy' scheme as well as assistance from colleagues. Internal training also provided throughout the year.
Had peak times during the quarter, which obviously then leads to some downtime. Just the nature of the job, however, extra work can be provided.
EMEA representitive for accounts for marketing funds, in determining how many $$$'s we will pay our customers each quarter.
Developed key life skills, such as time management, organization, communication, language skills
The Company
Great atmosphere. Fine balance between 'work hard' and 'play hard'.
Everything was mapped out. Plans about the first six months with targets, and an element of versatility.
Invested money and time, so couldn't ask for anything more. For example, invested in me to travel to Munich for a face to face as they saw it would be beneficial to gain work travel.

If you impress, good chance you'll be hired back as a graduate.
The Culture
Good social scene. Most are sociable, out going, makes the town more bareable.
Cheap. Couldn't find a cheaper place if I tried. Rent is cheap, nighlife is extremely cheap.
Not the best place, however, fellow interns makes it bearable.
Events at Universities a main area here. Other demo events, and projects can open up new oppourtunities.
