The Role
Very valuable experience with a great amount to take from it
This placement treated me as a valuable part of the team
My team and manager were always helpful and supportive throughout the year
Depending on the time of year, the job was either very busy or not much going on
I was given a fair amount of responsibility, which grew throughout the year
It allowed me to experience a highly professional working environment which I can take with me to the future
The Company
Although it was a highly professional environment, the team was very easy going and there was always banter flying around
The whole process was very proffesional
Several training sessions were set up, although some I felt were a bit of a waste of time with little to learn from
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
As interns are replaced every year I feel there isn't room for a job in my particular work area
The Culture
There we many nights out with fellow interns and other colleagues
I lived at home outside of London so living wasnt too costly
High variety of bars and clubs to suit all
Long days didn't leave much spare time on week days
