The Role
Excellent experience from responsibilities to networking to social events and the quality/intelligence of the people I was fortunate enough to work with
Given a lot of responsibility from early on and everyone appreciated the work
Very good 5-way welfare and support system
Cyclical work - reflected in the internship
All work contributed directly to what would be put in front of the client
Overall skills dealing with people and general corporate communication increased massively
The Company
Quiet at times, but very hard-working and enjoyable
They invested a lot into us - very well organised
One week introductory training at the beginning, sufficient before being chucked in at the deep end
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing.
