The Role
Extremely enjoyable as I was given all the resources and freedom I needed to develop alll thhe skills I beleive I will need in my future carrer.
Even thought I was struggling in the beginning, once I got into my job I got along very well with my whole team and it didn't feel as if I was 'just an intern' at all.
There were times when my managers were either too busy or just no available or we just didn't get along very well (especially in the very beginning) so getting help was a bit difficult but this has only happened a couple of times so overall I've received all the help/support I needed.
There were time when I had nothing to so it did get broing but then again other times it was extremely busy. So a bit of both and of course, this is how a person learns to balance it out.
In the beginning not a lot, but once I've earned my managers trust adn proved I can do my work to an excellent level, I was given the responsibility to cover some of their work. Often, I was the main contact when they were away.
I believe I have improved the skills I already had as well as I 've developed new skills. However, there is always room for improvement.
The Company
It was very much fun, apart from extremely busy time when we just didn't really have that much time for general chats and joking around.
Apart from confusion coming from HR and LD at tmes, it was generally very well organised.
I was offered all training courses as any other permenent employee so the company looks afater its employees to an excellent level, I personally didn't feel the need to take on any of the courses as they weren't that relevant to what I was doing.

One of my team memebers was an intern a couple of years back so it is not impossible. However, the company doesn't have a graduate scheme.
The Culture
As in any other company where there are more than 10 interns, coming from different backgrounds, universitis, ineterests, I didn't get along with all of the 40 or so interns in WB but we the ones I did, I had a lot of fun.
Central Londond...so unfortunatelly extremely expensive :(
Again Central London so excellent :)
Not only activities we organised ourselves but also such with the company - volunteering, sports activities, different events, etc.
