The Role
Hugely rewarding, it gave me a good flavour of the organisation as a whole and it
Very much so, I had an hour one-to-one feedback session with my boss per week.
See above.
As busy as I wanted to be - I was given a lot of flexibility and had a number of projects simultaneously.
Enough - a good amount given my experience and I worked closely with my boss and others to get constant feedback.
Given my theology degree, not very much, but they did offer me a job so that will help me going forward...
The Company
Great - sales team were fantastic and very lively.
Best thing about the internship in my opinion - great access to senior management and a lot of professional development seminars.
Presentation skills, updates from all sectors of the business and paying for professional qualifications (IOC)
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Good, I work there now.
The Culture
yes, a lively one.
relatively expensive, but that's London for you.
St Pauls/Bank i.e. good.
As much as I needed; cricket team and socials were aplenty.
