The Role
An absolutely fantastic opportunity. The team I was placed with were welcoming, professional, extremely friendly and happy to treat as more than 'the intern'. I was given real responsibility and real projects to deliver.
I really felt my work was valued, and colleagues were happy to give constructive criticism when asked.
I received regular feedback and help when I got stuck, and my line manager was without a doubt the best boss I've ever had.
Some days I was run off my feet, and on others I had to keep myself busy but there were normally no shortage of tasks to be working on.
See above.
The skills I learned and the confidence I gained have already helped me in the continuance of my university studies, and they have undoubtedly helped me beyond university as I have been offered a position on the graduate programme!
The Company
Fantastic. Everyone was really friendly, and willing to have a laugh as well as getting on with the professional side of the job.
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
See above.
The Culture
Many social event were organised, and there was a great atmosphere among the interns.
I worked in Central London so cost of living was high, but London is always worth it!
Great. I was right on London Bridge, with easy access to plentiful restaurants and bars etc.
There was a fortnightly 'Procurement Football' session which was great fun and a good chance for some exercise.
