The Role
It was hard work and quite stressful hours
Many were extremely busy so it was difficult to build a connection with them
My line manager was totally supportive and provided critical feedback
Very high work load and quality demanded
I was performing key analysis of information for various meetings
It really helped develop me personally and socially
The Company
My team were very friendly and we would often go out to socialise
Sometimes things didnt go to plan but overall implementation was successful
Learning platforms and talks aided learning
Was offered a graduate placement for next year
The Culture
At least once a week interns would all go out together
Commuting costs were the most expensive part
Loads of things to do at night!
Did not have the opportunity due to limited time period.
