The Role
It was by far the best internship I've been a part of. I had a great experience and learned so much.
We all got to know each other really well. We formed our own little family.
Management was excellent. They care about the company and those working for it.
I had days of being really busy and some of being in between. It made for a nice balance.
I was taught what I was to do and then expected to get it done. The responsibility was on my shoulders once I learned the ropes. It was nice to feel trusted.
I know I'm going to value these skills for the rest of my working life.
The Company
It was fun and friendly. We knew when to get down to business though!
It ran very well. I thought things were organized for the most part.
They treated me like a valuable employee, even though I was only an intern!
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
There will probably be a lot of competition, but that's not going to stop me from applying for a job with them.
The Culture
It was easy to make friends who were interested in the same activities. We had fun together.
It was not surprising to me how much things cost.
There were pubs around the corner where we went for drinks once in a while.
The company put on intern functions each week.
