The Role
Some days better than others, often found myself with nothing to do. Overall though enjoyed the job most of the time.
In such a large organisation I felt over looked. However those closest to me valued me.
Again in such a big company it was hard to get much one to one time and individual feedback.
Often had nothing to do, even struggled when went out looking for work that wasn't anything to do with my role!
I was in charge of some key processes that were crucial to the account.
I beleive it has helped me develop as a student and will hopefully encourage me to work a bit harder.
The Company
with so many interns we had a good laugh.
recruitment was poor but once I was there it was perfect.
Not enough.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare from home
I wouldn't want to work in a company that big.
The Culture
excellent!
average.
not bad but wasn't far from a good night out.
always charity events, socials etc.
