The Role
I was welcomed as a full member of the team, not just as 'one of those interns'. Quickly integrated into team meetings and I felt my opinion was valued.
Support was really good, everyone is happy to answer questions. The balance between the ability to try by myself and guidance was perfect.
I always had lots to do, but never felt that it wasn't manageable. There is enough time for a quick chat, but I was never bored.
The level of responsibility grew continuously during the placement, which was very good.
The Company

The Culture

Lots of clubs and bars, buses to London and back throughout the night.
