The Role
Really enjoyed the whole experience. It was a joy to come into work everyday.
All of my team were helpful with any questions that I had. They treated me like a full time employee. Made me feel at home.
I was given all the support that I needed. There was never a time that I felt like that I didn't know what I was doing. My manager was always there to answer any questions that I had.
Pretty busy but the workload wasn't so much that I couldn't handle it.
A lot. It surprised me a bit that I was given so much responsibility.
It will help me so much. Some skills you can't really pick up until you're actually in that situation and working in a real work place. The experience was invaluable.
The Company
It was formal but it wasn't to the extent that I felt that I couldn't ask questions to my team.
Everything felt really well organised right from the start.
I was told that any training that I needed would be provided so that was great. They spent the time that was needed at the start of the internship to bring me up to speed and give me assistance on anything that I didn't understand.

The Culture
I got along really well well my team and the other interns. The social events that the company set up let us socialise a bit more and get to know each other.
Quite expensive.
The clubs in the area were fun and there was lots of choice. Great!
Yes, the company organised events for us and they were lots of fun.
