The Role
Good experience in a good team
Always there to help or answer questions and had weekly reviews which were useful
Some days I had nothing to do due to the business of my colleagues with month end stuff, other days I had loads
All the work I produced I was responsible for and was expected to produce high quality useable work
Amazing experience, good to work with IT and good office experience, looks good on a CV too
The Company
Ver well, however the projects they had planned me to carry on with weren't executed that well, it took a long time and a lot of waiting around for people to be free to help/show me what to do, otherwise it was brilliant and couldn't have asked for more support
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Cardiff Bay - relatively expensive but not compared to London
Socials once a month minimum okus after works drinks/bbqs/social events
Details
Internship (1 Month+)
