The Role
Was an excellent experience learned a lot of new stuff and met a lot of new people.
My team was small but I think I was pretty well valued.
Management/supervisor advice was great my manager was always there when I needed some help and my supervisor had some great careers advice.
Things have only slowed down in the last few days, was busy every day my entire internship.
We were given free reign on the project we were working on, it was pretty exciting.
Developed my programming skills a lot which will serve me perfectly for 4th year.
The Company
Great atmosphere most people are pretty laid back and easy to approach.
Once I got going it all went rather well, the first few days were a bit messy getting logged in and some of the systems set up.
Received a little training but that's fair considering the short duration of the internship.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
I have been offered a Job. Would love to work here!
The Culture
The social scene was pretty good we had lunch together most days and went out for drinks every now and again.
I live around here so it seems average to me.
Glasgow is OK for a night out.
Interns organised some stuff.
