Assisting Project Development Manager Review

The people were so helpful and the work was very interesting; will be great to see what other teams have to offer.

Everyone was really welcoming, made some good friends. I felt appreciated by Senior Management too.

I sat next to my boss and she was always happy to help. As were the other members of Senior Management.

Much busier than previous internships, you can always ask for more work too. Very clear plan laid out for me so that I didn't get bored.

A software contract was closed because of a project I did to show it wasn't being used and I began to set-up a new software platform to replace it. I felt like they really valued my input and opinion.

Time management and communication were big lessons learned. Definitely built up my confidence to get things done too.

A client servicing team so lots of people on the phone. People all get on well, but not much outside of work interaction unless specifically planned. People do have lots of little jokes going on though which keeps everything entertaining.

My log-ins were ready the day I arrive and I had a timetable of plans for the whole placement from my team and from HR. Sometimes overviews organised for the program were cancelled but these were later rescheduled.

I had a huge number of overviews and encouraged to meet with as many people as possible to learn as much as possible. Networking skills were definitely pushed, and lots of business related advice was given in terms of how to dress, behave etc.

They are still in the process of working out the best way to go about job offers; but they show a lot of interest in getting you interviews, and making people aware of who you are. Job offers definitely more likely if you were to go back into the same team.

Hard to organise with such a big group - but corporate events were a lot of fun. And individually organised things were also very good. Sociability varied amongst everyone so always someone to go to when organising an event.

London is obviously expensive. Travel, bars, meals, everything is more expensive. But happy hours are a great help! And you can afford to spend a little more when you're earning. Nonetheless, people still socialised as much as we would have at Uni!

Lots of bars in the area, also close to Shoreditch and Covent Garden. Can't ask for much more when you are working in London.

It depends how much you want to get involved - but there is a social committee and sports clubs. You can also organise anything yourself. Some teams gave budgets for their interns to organise an event. The softball tournament is great fun, as is the CSR day on the farm and the 5.6k Corporate Challenge.
