Overview
I have worked on an internal logistics project for the company where I have helped in communications and people management. My main focus has been a client based external cost intelligence project though where I have worked in the Change Management team. I have engaged with digital material and had to work in employee engagement also.
Skills
Yes - developed broader understanding of and gain consultancy specific skills. My PowerPoint and Excel skills have also improved. I work in a team every day so my communication and interpersonal skills have improved. My design and creativity has also increased.
Responsibilities
Yes - I would say I have been given the same responsibility as a grad student/junior consultant. My work has felt valuable and useful, and by no means 'filler' or 'grunt' work. I have been set multiple independent tasks with deadlines to adhere to. I would say I am definitely satisfied with the amount of responsibility taken on.
Support & Guidance
A lot. Definitely an obvious emphasis on community and people focus. Weekly meetings with my line manager. Also had a buddy and regular meetings with other interns as well as endless invitations to social events and training days where everyone was approachable and easy to speak to.
Culture
Really good. People driven, a sense that the company really cares about the individual.
Your Impressions
5/5 rating. Really good thing to do - brought on my social and wider working skills.
Yes
Be confident and put yourself out there. They are looking for enthusiastic people who are ready to engage and commit to every type of opportunity.
