The Role
The internship was a fantastic experience with plenty of networking experiences and hands on responsibilities. It was a very well balanced between different types of tasks so you'll always be performing a task that's both interesting and refreshing.
5/5
Colleagues were fantastic, everyone was approachable, open and gave you time to explain their business area, showing an active interest in your background.
