The Role
Initial organisation wasn't best but the support and people made it very nejoyable
Best bunch of guys I could have hoped to work with
I wasn't really given any but this was more of a "in at the deep end" approach to give a good learning curve rather than being baby fed.
Mostly quite busy but better than being bored and with nothing to do!
Soon became a part of the team and did exactly what the other members did. Was a great introduction into what I would expect to come.
Not directly part of my course but having client side business skills are so invaluable
The Company
In the middle of London so very business orientated. But never dull though
Initially was quite problematic but once it was sorted there were 0 issues.
Lots of training was offered and lot sof on the fly learning to be done from professionals in that very job.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
Applying for a grad job with them after, fingers crossed.
The Culture
Lots of events organised by and for interns
Was allowed to live at home and commute so free!
Middle of London, everythings happening
Lots of emails about out of work activities, sports and non sports related
