The Role
Brilliant!!!
Very much so, colleagues did not look at me as an intern but gave me client work to complete and treated me as very much part of the team.
Managers were always on hand to help.
Always busy and given meaningful tasks
Provided you showed yourself as being capable I was heavily involved in numerous projects and attended various client meetings
First chance to experience working in a professional environment which I consider priceless and very meaningful
The Company
The team was great, ethos of work hard, play hard
Fantastic, received a personal laptop and email address to help with activities and given a few days of very insightful training at start, along with a mentor/buddy to help you out
Very much so, I think that this was key in accessing the capabilities of interns but also making the experience as enjoyable as possible
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Secured a grad job
The Culture
Yes
Not bad, moved away for internship so slightly more expense than staying at home but got paid which eased the burden
Not relevant to the company as offices are nationwide so would be different depending on where you are based
