The Role
I enjoyed my internship and being part of a large company.
Everyone in the office was welcoming.
Support was always there when required.
Very busy.
Enough responsibility was given. However, there wasn't much variety in the things I was responsible for.
I learned and worked on multiple skills during my internship. I do wish I had the opportunity to learn more about the finance function.
The Company
Good atmosphere.
Not too well organised.
Opportunities were given to improve upon skills - such as problem solving. However, not much time was invested in building and improving on technical finance knowledge.
Flexi Time
National Travel
Very appealing. Fantastic graduate programme.
The Culture
Yes. 'Drinks' every thursday evening with engineering graduates, industrial placement and interns.
I lived at home. Not too applicable for me. Glasgow is not too expensive.
Good.
Not too many.
