The Role
Overall a very enjoyable experience. 7/10 due to some days being very slow.
The team were great and appreciated the work I did for them.
Managers were helpful, weekly reviews kept my objectives on target.
Can take on as much work as you like, but some tasks were very mundane so in trying to avoid these, some days become very slow.
Was able to attend a few client meetings which were the highlights of the job. My work was also used by the team, trusting my research to be accurate.
Aspects were brilliant, but a lot of tasks didn't provide me with much benefit, more the team.
The Company
The atmosphere was great, with the team all getting along extremely well. Had some days out together which was great.
Well organised, I feel that the London programme would have been far more structured however.
Some webinars.
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Was the only intern in my office/location. The social side with the older colleagues was great however.
Yes a few days out which were great
