The Role
Enjoyed the internship a lot. Great team and interesting work.
My colleagues were driven and made me feel valued.
Given a lot of guidance on how to complete tasks and what the general theme of the work was.
Very busy, lots of work with little downtime.
A lot of responsibility was given during the internship.
Have developed good financial skills transferrable to other jobs.
The Company
Collegial atmosphere, but professional when it needed to be.
Very well organised, as it is an annual internship so organisers are well versed.
Company did well, but perhaps longer training period or more relevant to industry would have been good.
