The Role
Some days seemede very long, others flew by, very dependent on the quality and quantity of work that I eceived.
Very friendly team although there is a limit to how valued you feel if you are not actually being asked to do much work for them.
Supported well by the team, much more than my line manager.
There were quite a few days where I did not have enough to do so had to fill time reading up on models etc, not the most interesting thing to be doing.
A couple fo times I was given good responsibility but rules and regulation prevented it most of the time, not the companies fault.
Learnt a lot of interpersonnal skils and skills to do with presenting.
The Company
Team were very nice but often quite busy.
The level of work depended on your line manager, so there were large discrepancies between interns which was not ideal.
I received good advice from the team and they responded well to any questions/requests.
National Travel
They appear to be quite good in their field, just make sure you want to be in that field!
The Culture
I depended whether you were living with others on the intern scheme.
London is expensive.
Expensive, but other than that pretty good.
Ten weeks over a period of time where a lot of the team take holiday leave mean that it iss quite hard to get involved with anything like this.
