The Role
A really well organised, insightful internship.
I was working on projects which were of direct use to my team, this helped me to settle in quickly and meet the majority of people in my division.
I dont think you can expect to be busy all day every day during a summer placement but there was certainly a lot of work to be getting on with.
I have definitely picked up a unique skill set which I can apply to the rest of university, future job applications as well as any future business work.
The Company
Depends which office I was working in. Cannon Street was slughtly more formal than Kingswood.
Every week there were several activites put on for us and we were always informed of what was going on.
There was a weeks training at the start.

The Culture

City nightlife
