The Role
I was extremely sad to have to leave my placement.
They were very forthcoming with praise and gratitude.
I was given more and more responsibilty as the placement went on.
The Company
There were initial issues with IT that led to my first two weeks not being very productive or busy.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
The Culture
All the interns on my placement became very close and have continued to socialise outside the work environment.
Fairly expensive as it was in Canary Wharf, but we socialise din other areas of London.
