The Role
It was a great opportunity to find out more about the corporate world. I absolutely enjoyed the company culture and the projects I got to do. Being able to shadow different individuals as well as visit different departments was a very unique and rewarding experience. I felt like a treasured employee and someone who was part of the team.
I was treated just like everyone else, I got invited to dinner and lunches and everyone appreciated my work. Good work was rewarded and appreciated.
I had an absolutely fantastic manager and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He helped me to fulfill all my plans within the company and provided me with opportunities I appreciated very much. I never felt left alone and everyone was always approachable and I felt vey comfortable asking questions.
To be fair, I wasn't always the busiest intern. However, that was due to my very flexible "once- a week" internship, which fit in with my studies. Since it was impossible to work on most projects, on a one- day a week basis, I often did work when it was needed. However, there was always something I did and I learned different skills from different tasks.
That doesn't really apply to my internship as i wasn't workign full time. However, I was given the responsibility to complete all of my projects in an accurate manner. I also had the responsibility to manage my own time, which enabled me to create unique opportunities. I had the chance to visit every single department, network with individuals and learn a lot about the company/
I learned so much and everything will be valuable for the rest of my career. Learning to work within Enterprise however, has showed me how incredibly valuable a company culture is.
The Company
The company culture was second to none. I have never experienced a company culture that open and friendly. Everyone was working hard but work was appreciated and the relationship between entry level employees and senior staff is great.
It was very difficult to organise my placement as I came in on a "once a week" basis. However, there were monthly projects I completed and everything was structured as best as possible.
Not only was my internship paid but I also received a lot of training by simply being able to explore all areas of the company, broaden my understanding of Enterprise and how all areas work together to create great service.

We have discussed future employement and I was asked to let HR know once I graduated.
The Culture
Amazing, I am still in touch with some.
Egham is not cheap, hat is due to wealthier areas being very close bt.
I didn't go anywhere but i think it is rather poorly.
Plenty, a lot of charity runs and activities!
