The Role
Extremely well organised internship programme, gained numerous skills within the industry and corporate environment.
90% of the team were approachable.
Weekly meetings to check on progress, set regular targets etc
the first 6 months were quieter as I didn't have Intern recruitment process to do
The Company
Sometimes very quiet and serious when busy
Good training program
Not all interns are able to take part on all courses, only the intern program
Subsidised/Company Gym
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
If the right role was available I would definitely go back!
The Culture
Cost of living was expensive depending how close you lived to the office, London is generally more expensive that most places anyway.
It was central London so a lot of choice as to where to go
