The Role
A challenging internship, with diverse opportunities to learn about the job first hand
Colleagues were embracing all interns, they definitely trust them in their work and provide guidance
Given the type of the industry management usually asks for the end result, yet there are directors who would sit down with you and talk about ways to approach the problem or the task
The industry requires a lot of time spent at work and sometimes the day flies by without any notice
When a managing director contacts you directly, you know you are being held responsible of a significant task
You can never learn enough shortcuts and gain efficiency
The Company
Towards the end of the week everyone loosens up for the weekend. When work is done, people enjoy their time
Everything was properly scheduled in advance, nothing was unexpected.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
London as a whole is an expensive city, yet you can manage to find places that are relatively cheaper than others
