Good support but vague expectation setting at times
Very busy.....never ran out of projects to do...
A good amount of responsibility, especially in sales...
Very practical knowledge gained that can be used in most finance roles
The Company
Good atmosphere - a catalyst to networking
Many trainings
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Limited amount of openings. Cannot go directly into sales

Incredible people on the internship who made every effort to socialise
Quite expensive but manageable
Good nightlife - although mostly went to Pubs
