The Role
My placement was very challenging which made it interesting on a daily basis.
From the beginning I was made to feel a part of the team, I was never treated like "an intern" I was always treated the same way as anyone else in the company.
I always received feedback and advice whenever I needed it and I have also been given time to work through my CV and interview skills.
As a support function of the business the workload always varies but overall there is time for more.
I was given the same levels of responsibility as the rest of my team. In certain situations I have also been able to go beyond my standard job role and experience other parts of the business, including making sales to customers.
The soft skills and interpersonal skills that I have developed will be very useful throughout my working career.
The Company
It was generally a jovial and happy office.
The overall work within my department was very good but the internship program as a whole is still in it's early stages.
I was always given opportunities and encouraged to develop outside of my department and attend various training courses.

I would be very happy if I could obtain a full time job at SAP.
The Culture
Out of 18 interns on placement less than half of us regularly did social things. The majority of the interns were to be frank, boring.
Living so close to London is expensive.
There is literally no nightlife in Feltham.
We play football twice a week and do get involved with other activities such as drinking.
