The Role
I was given a lot of responsibility throughout the internship.
I got on really well with all my colleagues.
I was reporting directly to my manager - interns usually report to associates or executives.
You are encouraged to take on more work if you feel you have the capacity.
I was taking on the role of an executive by the end of the internship.
I am more comfortable using Excel now.
The Company
Really relaxed atmosphere!
I saw everything from start to finish.
We had weekly lunch and learn sessions.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
I was offered a job with them.
The Culture
Good social scene outside of work.
Company socials were free of charge but outside of work was quite expensive.
Good but nightlife in London is very expensive.
I was invited to a few activities with colleagues outside of work.
