The Role
The office was very friendly and I felt the work I was given to do was useful to the team.
I received positive feedback from my team and about the usefulness of my work.
My team and line manager were always happy to answer my questions or provide assistance.
I could have handled more work.
I worked on my own project, however it didn't have any direct impact on others work so it clearly wasn't that important to the team.
It has been helpful to me in deciding which career direction I'd like to follow
The Company
Everyone was friendly and happy to talk.
I was given a structure project.
I don't feel the firm invested much in me, except some of my line manager's time.
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Got a referral but they are inflexible at deferring the place for 1 year.
The Culture
Most of the interns in the office met for lunch and went out after work on a weekly basis.
Usual prices for a northern city.
Worked in the city centre.
Only charity work
