The Role
Fantastic company to work for - very flexible and provides with a great insight into working for a worldwide corporation
Providing you put yourself out there - very friendly atmosphere
Management always look out for your development
Could be too relaxed at times but there is always people you could go to for additional work
Quite overwhelming that you got to handle millions of $'s worths of orders!
Massively beneficial to my degree, bring on 3rd year!
The Company
Always a great atmosphere
They've been doing this for years - they know what they're doing!
Travel budget etc was pretty tight which was understandable if they didn't want to invest too much in the interns. A lot of interns have had opportunities to travel to the US, Greece, Morrocco etc this year
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
International Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday

Swindon is cheap and central to a lot of places including London, Oxford, Bristol etc
