The Role
Working for such a large company in the centre of London is such an amazing and exciting opportunity
Everyone is helpful and there is a really good team. Plus a great work and play balance
Bot formal and informal support. Given a mentor as well as continually being supported, guided and encouraged by everyone in and out of the team
It varies. Some days you are rushed off your feet and others its quiet, but even when busy its managable, and never boring.
Responsibilitiy given from day one. You feel part of the team, trusted and valuable from the word go
The skills and training will benefit you forever!
The Company
Work hard, play hard. A great balance and everyone is friendly.
Very well organised. They've had lots of experience in having interns
Allocated a mentor to aid personal development, use of own initiative on this is also key but the team invest their time in helping you with finding training as well as your development plan
Company Parties/Events
Great people to work with, brillinat compnay to work for and a valuable experience for yourself.
The Culture
Majority of other interns are in another office but if you involve yourself its great.
London.... enough said! Expensive but worth the experience!
Many great team night out with the team as well as being in the centre of london so choices of restaurantes/bars are endless
Regular planned team events as well as intern events such as charity fundraising
