The Role
**Please note that at the time this review was submitted We Brand It were trading under the name Buyking** For an intern, you get a lot of responsibilites
Had a better relationship with all the interns than with most of the fulltimers.
Could be improved. We have had a good 2 weeks of training in the beginning. Would have love to have more guidance/training during the rest of my placement.
Most of the time very busy. It's like a fulltime job. Hard to combine when you have to work on a thesis as well.
Would have liked to get more out of the office. Visiting suppliers, trade shows, maybe even clients.
The Company
Having a lot of people around the same age is very nice!
Transport and accomadation were all taking care of.
The Culture
As we are with a big group of interns, socialising wasnt a problem at all! Bills for the house were all taking care of. The city itself isn't the biggest in the world, but having many interns around won't make you feel bored.
there is a town near where you can visits pubs, cinema's, restaurants, shops, bowlingcentres, swimming pool etc. All my housemates signed up at a gym for a reasonable price. There are enough opportunities to get involved in activities outside work.
