The Role
Met some fantastic people and overall had a great time
Treated well by the majority of people I had contact with. Both senior and junior members of the business were very welcoming to me
Everyone was approachable and happy to help
First project - busy 24/7, second project - not very busy most of the time. Very project dependant.
First project I ended up running our section of the project, second project my responsibilities were much more limited due to less client facing work
I have learnt a lot to take on to university and general life skills for working in a corporate environment
The Company
Very project dependant but generally friendly and fun atmosphere
Details often lacked and things were left rather last minute
Excel training and online training
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare from home
Invited back for summer internship
The Culture

London was fantastic
Sports clubs, societies, team drinks, team meals etc
