The Role
The work was interesting and I was always busy
Great atmosphere, everyone is really welcoming
My manager was great most of the time, but was sometimes overly stressed and difficult to work with during other colleagues' absence.
Busy enough not to get broed, but not under too much pressure.
Because I was doing a summer internship, there were points where I was the only member of my specific team in the office.
Not linked to my degree, but I learnt lots of skills.
The Company
Great atmosphere. Lots of fun.
Very well organised.
Very keen to keep hold of talent.
Been offered a job, but will probably accept this and also apply for others. Good pay on grad scheme, but better jobs avaialble to grads at the moment.
The Culture
It was OK.
City of London - Pricey.
Lots of bars/clubs.
Charity challenge.
