The Role
Enjoyed it greatly. Would definitely recommend!
Treated me like one of their own. Never felt left out which was good. Nothing really to worry about here.
Manager and even my manager's manager gave me the support that I needed. I never felt that I had difficulty getting help.
Actually it was a perfect balance in my opinion. I think this is just how it turned out for me, but on the whole the work seems to be pretty balanced.
Not that much responsibility to start with but it got greater as the internship went on.
I have developed technical and non-technical skills that I think will serve me for the rest of my life for sure.
The Company
Great atmosphere, felt welcome in the office. The team was great.
Everything felt well organised from the beginning. Had regular contact with the organisers.
Felt my manager gave me the necessary training and help to do my job well. I will use the skills I have learned in future.
Company Parties/Events
Great prospects for a graduate position. I enjoyed it greatly and would like to come back.
The Culture
We went out to pubs and clubs frequently to socialise. Was great fun.
Expensive as it was in London but that is expected.
London nightlife is excellent. Always something to do.
Company events were regular. Gave me good opportunity to get to know my team.
