The Role
Ok at best
Didn't really feel valued at all
This was the core issue. No guidance and support left very much to fend for oneself!
Exactly as above, either bored or extremely busy
Quite a fair bit of responsibility
Very useful,wasn't for me personally but was a valuable experience nevertheless
The Company
Very quiet and dull
Very well organised aside from the lack of guidance
A fair bit of investment, days out etc.
Subsidised Canteen
Wasn't offered a job although other interns were and were thrilled.
The Culture
Good social scene went out a fair bit
Expensive to live and socialise
Very good nightlife and clubs
None really
Details
