The Role
Great, nothing to complain about. Felt well supported
Excellent. My colleagues treated me fairly. I did not feel any different from the full time employees which was good to see.
They supported me throughout the internship. I could ask for feedback whenever and was always sure of my progress. Great.
Sometimes I was a bit too busy - near the end of the internship. Think this could have been handled a bit better by me, but on the whole, not bad.
Maybe near the start I wasn't given as much, but near the end I felt like I really had a place there.
Definitely skills for life. The internship was really valuable in that respect, no matter if you want to work in the same area/business, the skills will be useful in all walks of life.
The Company
OK. Did feel like everyone was working at it -- not much time to have 'fun' really.
Can't complain here. I knew what was happening and when. The communications were frequent.
This internship was great for personal development. They really root for you to do well.
Financial Bonus
Working from home
Hope to work here after I graduate, if all goes well!
The Culture
Yeah, pretty good. Went out and organised a few nights together.
A bit expensive, but manageable.
Great! Loved it, really fun.
They organised a lot of stuff for us to do so that was good. Nice to see not just all work.
