The Role
My internship was great on the whole. I worked with great people and learned a great deal over the course of 2 months.
As an intern, I knew I had limited expertise to offer. Despite this, I was given certain responsibilities which made me feel valued. Of course, there are times when I felt I could have been doing more to help.
The support from my line manager and other colleagues on the team was incredible. They were prepared to explain things to me whenever I didn't understand something.
I was busy but I managed to complete all my tasks within a decent range of working hours.
Not too much but it was adequate for an intern.
Definitely improved my Microsoft Excel and time management skills.
The Company
Friendly and full of energy.
On the whole, the internship was extremely well-organized.
A lot was invested in me, especially on the first week of the scheme when we had training.
Company Parties/Events
Received a job offer as a result of the internship.
The Culture
Great.
Reasonable.
Average.
Plenty. Evening meals, films and football were some of the activities that we got involved with during the internship.
