The Role
I had a great internship experience - it was fun, informative and inspiring
I was valued by my colleagues and I felt I was contributing to real life work
My manager would always help me with whatever I asked and always welcomed questions from me
I was busy, but I like being busy - I had the responsibility over whole projects
I felt I was responsible for all my work and projects, liaising with people across the company - I felt I belonged there
I am well equipped for the next chapter of my life
The Company
It was always really fun and busy, a lot of brain power at work!
It could have been run better in term of the objectives that were set, but I felt that I was working towards the overall business objectives instead of my own which I liked
I had the chance to try out different areas and develop myself professionally
Flexi Time
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
I was offered a job, but I had already accepted another graduate job with a different organisation
The Culture
I made really good friends with fellow interns, industrial placements, graduates and colleagues - I went out often with them!
I have lived in this year since I was 18 and so I am used to the cost, If you are sensible yu can have a really good time without ending up broke!
Glasgow is great for nights out!
There was opportunities but these were happening after I finish my internship
