The Role
The office was very friendly.
I received positive feedback about the work I undertook and hwo it provided useful insight.
My team and line manager were always happy to answer my questions.
I feel I could have handled more work.
I was given my own project to work on but I don't think it was very important to the team.
It has shown me which dircetion i'd like my career to go.
The Company
Very friendly and talkative office.
I was given a structured project to work on.
I was given work but don't feel the the firm invested anything in me - except some of my line manager's time.
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Got a job offer but they are inflexible about deferring the place for 1 year.
The Culture
Met with the other interns most lunchtimes and we went out on a weekly basis.
A standard northern city.
Worked in the city centre so good nightlife.
Only charity work.
