The Role
As a first 'office' job it was a great inside into the corporate world
They made me feel like one of the team and not just the 12month intern
I was provided with plent of online training and one to one meetings.
Majority of the time i had my own workload but this varied with the time of month and quarter
I was given more responcibility than i thought..producing reports for the CFO of the company
It i worked in a different area to my degree path however i know what i have learnt will benifit me in the future
The Company
Its quiet and chilled out, everyone is doing there own work but theres no problem when we stop to chat etc
The first couple of weeks the IT side was a bit useless but after that initial point its been seamless
They have invested quiet a lot into me. giving me the opportunity to travel to different parts of the country as well as attending courses and seminars...potenial for international travel too!

The previous intern has been offered a job...i am going back to study so not relivant for me..helped me gain network contacts in other companies
The Culture
Due to the situation of the company building it could be better...if the location was more centralised to the capital i think it would be varstly improved
Not too bad considering we are within 30mins of central london
Good.. large towns such as reading and guilford are 20mins away and London 30mins
There is a social football team and charity events happen a few times a year
