The Role
Some aspects were enjoyable and some were boing.
My manager gave regular positive feedback.
If I ever needed help, I could contact my manager of one of his colleagues for guidance.
I was often left with nothing to do or given a task and given a deadline which was far too long.
I felt some of the tasks I did were very important and I was pleasantly surprised to be trusted with them.
They will aid me in future jobs, but are not very applicable for life at university.
The Company
It was fairly relaxed, yet people still focused on the task at hand.
My tasks were laid out coherently for me in an order, but the introductory period could have had more structure.
They invested time yet not resources.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
In some ways, I believe tey are a wonderful company to work for, but I am not sure yet whether the culture is suitable for me personally.
The Culture
Fortunately, we were placed in accommodation together so the social side of the internship was brilliant.
The Group paid for our accommodation which was wonderful, but the cost of living in London was very expensive.
The nightlife was good yet expensive.
There were opportunities to get involved with charity work and socialise with work mates.
