The Role
The job would have it's ups and downs. The fact that I was not used to a 9-5 schedule and that sometime I would finish my work early meant it was a struggle sometimes. For the most part it was awesome though.
My colleagues were awesome! I was able to go to them for any questions I had, and they were some of the friendliest people I have ever met.
The people I was reporting to were awesome, and always had feedback for me on how I was doing and what I could do to improve.
For the most part I would always have work, but since I would spend a lot of time working at a help desk, there would be times where I really wouldn't have much to do.
I was given a fair amount of responsiblilty. I was able to answer phones by myself. There were also some odd ball task the team was assigned, that I was given charge of.
The job was a huge learning experience for me. The context of the job was not exactly relevant to my major, but the data anlaysis skills I learned will be usefull anywhere.
The Company
I loved the atmosphere I worked in, everyone was very friendly.
Enterprise did an excelent job setting up the internship.
The company did a good job in investing time in my. There would be times though I would just be watching them work because they were to busy with work that I was unable to help with.
I don't think I would take a job with the company. Not because I don't think it would be good place to work, but because I'm just more interested in different work.
The Culture
There was some, I went on a trip with some of the other interns. Outside of work we would not do a ton together though.
In London the nightlife wasn't to bad.
I didn't really look though.
