The Role
Really well organised and structured. No problems. All went smoothly.
All were friendly and mostly gave you some of their time to learn about their job.
If i ever had a question when i wasn't sure about something, there was always someone willing to help.
Some days very busy, staying until midnight. Mostly ok. Nothing too stressful.
The more responsibility you wanted, the more you could take on.
Won't help with degree however will help for my future job.
The Company
Lots of energy.
Lots of presentations and meetings with senior members.
Had a week long introductory week where we learnt about the industry.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym

London will always be expensive no matter where you choose to go, however for a few nights out the company paid for all the drinks.
Good nightlife.
There was a jog in aid of charity.
