The Role
Lots of experience, great team and quite a lot of responsibility
Responsibility given to me by team over the placement. I was asked to complete tasks by colleagues which made me feel valued.
Sat next to my manager so good support, although was never in contact with senior management.
Quiet at start (naturally!) but busy on average. Jobs peaked at month ends and target times, then was quieter and more relaxing after those deadlines.
As above.
A real job is nothing like university and i found myself learning very quickly!
The Company
Serious, but relaxed
Big company, so well organised as expected. Lots of other summer interns.
Standard intern training.
