The Role
A great company to get a real insight to the sort of work you would be doing as a first year graduate.
My team were all very welcoming, explained everything in detail and were always greatful for any work I helped them with.
Very clear objectives set, and a very approachable manager.
Always had enough to do, If I didn't have a lot of work, I jsut send around an email and people would find you things to do.
I got involved in client work, and was given more than basic admin work, I got a real insight into my departmental work.
The presentation skills workshop was fantastic to prepare you for your final partner presentation, aswell as a good chance to catch up with the other interns.
The Company
Everyone was hardworking but also willing to have a laugh and a joke, it was a comfortable, balanced atmosphere.
We were given a timetable of scheduled events at the start of the internship, a mixture of networking, soical and training. You always knew what you should be doing and where you should be.
Firstly we set objectives, then had a mid-term and final review. This was good for our development. Whenever you asked for feedback staff would give it to you, so you could collate this over the internship. We were also sent away to their training manor for a 2 day workshop to improve our business insight.

Company Parties/Events
I would love to work for them in the future, and hopefully the very near future! It is a great firm, who has the perfect balance of work and social aspects.
The Culture
Yes, all the interns got involved on the events organised by the firm and then again on events we organised internally in our office.
I was lucky to live with family, but there is always happy hour on after work, so drinks in central london are never as expensive as you may anticipate!
Being quite central, all the main places are just a few tube stops away, and within about 10 minutes of eachother, it is a great loaction.
Lots, it was what you made of it. A group of us always went for drinks on Fridays, and out of lunches etc. If you wanted to do something, there was always another intern to go out with!
