The Role
I didn't have enough work to do
I wasn't given enough responsibilities.
I was given help when I needed it, but I wasn't taught many new things.
Sometimes I didn't have anything to do.
The jobs I was given were mostly admin jobs.
My Excel skills developed
The Company
It was quite quiet.
The internship was organised very well by the scholars team.
They were happy for me to meet different teams in different offices and travel to London for presentations.
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
The grad scheme is very appealing.
The Culture
The charity challenge was a good way to bring the interns together socially.
Pretty average.
Edinburgh is a great place to be in August!
There was so much going on with the Edinburgh fringe.
