The Role
Really interesting stuff, meeting loads of new friends and lots of events to go to. The training week was very much worth it.
Some really nice people, some of them obviously don't have time but that is understandable.
Mentor for the interns group project was excellent. He is a senior MD and gave us loads of his time to help us develop our ideas.
There was a lot less work from the desk than I could have handled but the intern app project filled in the gaps.
Left responsible for pushing forward a project which was a good experience.
Confidence is key!
The Company
Most of the time it was very quiet but people do need to work so that is not a bad thing!
Very well organised via Outlook calendars
