The Role
Great way to improve my professional skills
Everyone was very friendly and happy to answer the many questions I had
He was pretty happy to answer any questions, pass on some advice about how I might go about completing certain tasks.
I had enough work to keep me busy
If I did a poor job I was accountable for it
Lots of programming work having to solve problems.
The Company
Really relaxed, as long as you get your work done no one really minds
Tasks came up as and when I needed more work.
Such a short time not much time to do any training.
Sports and Social Club
Working from home
Don't know yet.
The Culture
Got along well with other interns around the office.
Cheaper than London
Leeds is a bit of a student city.
Didn't really explore this area too much
