The Role
Carrying out a rotational internship enabled me to see a variety of business lines.
Varied depending on each rotation - Learning Campus I was given ample amounts of responsibility, could express my suggestions and ideas. Credit Control was minimal responsibility, it was more important to carry out the exact role set.
The Company
Again, varied across departments
I had a two week induction timetable for my first rotation, lots of presentations and interactive activities, but moving onto the other rotations lacked any structure.
Relocation allowance for every rotation.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
The Culture
Manchester was considerably cheaper than Frimley!
Manchester & Bournemouth - lots! Frimley, not so much!
