The Role
I really enjoyed the internship as everyone was very supportive and welcoming
I felt extremely valued by my colleagues as they praised me when I did a good job, helped me when I struggled and made me feel at home
Whenever I wasn't sure about something my management team would never hesitate to provide support
I had times when I was extremely busy and other periods of times when I didn't have much to do
I was given quite a lot of responsibilities as the projects I worked on where extremely important and were sent up the hierarchy within my department
I learnt great time management, leadership and communication skills. Working in this corporate environment was a valuable experience for me.
The Company
Everyone was always full of life and made the work environment a fun and light hearted place
It was very well structured
The company gave us extremely good training and an excellent environment to grow in
Sports and Social Club
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
The Culture
The social scene was great. I made some good friends with my fellow interns and we would regularly organise days/nights out
Its quite expensive to live in Reading
It was good fun
We went on a trip to Thorpe park which was paid for by the company
