The Role
I had a great experience and learnt skills which I feel will be extremely valuable later in life.
My colleagues were very friendly and supportive.
My councilor was fantastic and you could tell she cared about your experience over the internship.
The type and amount of work would vary on a day-to-day basis, unfortunately (due to the time of year) I was sometime left wanting to have more to do.
I would say a very reasonable amount of responsibility.
Did not receive any real formal training, however the whole experience developed skills that I feel would be useful in any office environment.
The Company
It was a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be.
Well organised.
It felt like they wanted to help develop your core skills.
I was very pleased when I was offered a graduate position.
The Culture
A nice community feel.
London is very expensive, however this is to be expected.
Lots of different things going on.
Not as many as I would of liked, however I was only there for six weeks which is not really long enough to get involved.
