The Role
I enjoyed it very much, I learned a lot from this internship and would love to come back to the company.
I felt valued because they were always there to help me when I had any problems and they treated me like one of their own.
I was given all the necessary support and guidance needed to complete the work to the highest standard.
I never felt overworked nor did I feel like I was bored. It was the perfect balance of work.
I was surprisingly given a lot of responsibility as I carried out work that current employees would do.
I felt that my communication skills and technical skills were advanced greatly during the internship. It helped me become a better team player and I will use these skills to my advantage in future work situations.
The Company
It was a great, open atmosphere.
I had regular emails from the organisers. I thought that they did a good job as I was always kept up to date.
They allowed me to do any training that I desired which allowed me to develop as a person.
Company Parties/Events
I have secured a graduate offer.
The Culture
Regular events allowed us to socialise outside of the workplace.
Drinks were cheaper than I expected. Better than London anyway.
Many clubs in the surrounding area makes for a great night out!
As I said earlier, we had regular social events.
