The Role
It was a great to be in such a focused environment that taught me so much!
I felt like a member of the team.
They were there to answer any questions you had.
I was busy each day with new tasks and applying them in new roles.
I was given a fair amount of responsibility. They make sure you know what you are doing and then send you on your way to have a try at it.
They skills will definitely help me in my job search after graduation.
The Company
It was a fun office environment, but very focused on the tasks at hand.
It was set up well. I thought it ran great.
You can tell the company cares about its employees and interns as well.

Subsidised/Company Gym
If you stay focused with your studies and work hard, I think employment prospects would be great.
The Culture
We went out after work a few days a week to relax and chat.
Cost of living was better than I expected it was going to be.
There were places to go and things to do. Something for all tastes.
There was a good work/life balance that included a few activities for interns to get involved in.
