The Role
Lots of interesting work on various clients.
They were always happy that I had done the work, as someone else would have to do it otherwise.
I always knew what I was supposed to be doing, and the guidance was great.
There was always work for me to do, and people didn't mind if I prioritised more interesting work.
I was always doing important work.
I have learnt great people skills.
The Company
People were always really chatty and friendly.
They made sure in advance there would be work for me to complete and that I wouldn't get bored.
We had an all expenses paid residential stay at a stately home type of place, where we were fed lots of nice food and drink for three days and nights, and then in the days we were intensively trained.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Most people on the internship are offered a graduate role!
The Culture
There was quite often socials every week.
Leeds city centre is relativily cheap, there are tescos and greggs!
Very lively and active.
There were always activities going on.
