Operations Intern Review

Everything was enjoyable. From learning new things about work to the social and networking opportunities that were arranged for us.

There was weekly meetings with management to review performance and this was often a chance for management to keep us updated on our performance.

Weekly meetings, mid-internship review and final feedback meetings were all used to provide support and guidance. This was very useful. However, lots of the daily tasks were self-monitored. This is not a negative thing though.

Always busy enough to not be bored. As deadlines approached there were some very long shifts but this was expected. I was pleasantly surprised with how well balanced my working day was.

I was working on a project management role where my reports were going direct to management with only a quick review from management. Responsibility increased with experience through the program.

Many life skills were learned. Time was allowed every week to study extra subjects using their skills database. Many useful courses, ranging from department or course information to personal development.

All colleagues were very helpful and friendly. Good balance of friendlyness and work ethic. This helped me become more comfortable within the team whilst ensuring there is no distraction.

Everything was very well organised. Very few problems within the events.

I cannot think of any more that the firm could have done to support personal development. They provided the resources, allowed us the time and actively encouraged us to use the resources. This is encouraged throughout the company and is not limited to the interns.

I have been offered a job starting in September 2013 and cannot wait to return.

The social scene was fantastic. Networking events were regularly arranged and we were also encouraged to socialise with fellow interns outside of these.

London prices as expected. Expensive but not surprising.

Perfect for after work drinks. Weekends / big nights out were not as good. Not too far to travel to though so not an issue.

Apart from the networking activities there was not a huge amount available. This is not a bad thing though. For the perio of time we were there it would have been difficult to get much more involved.
