The Role
I really enjoyed my internship and found that I learnt an incredible amount in the short time I was there.
I always felt like a valued member of the team and that I was contributing to the work.

I felt it was the perfect balance
I was given a fair amount of responsibility relative to my experience.
The skills and knowledge I have gained are directly transferable to my degree studies.
The Company
The general atmosphere was good, people are friendly and always willing to answer any questions or lend a helping hand.
It was very well organised and I was always kept informed of any developments
The firm organised training sessions and my colleagues were willing to invest their time and effort into helping with any issues.

The Culture
Yes, we had regular socials and lunches.
London is an expensive area but I lived at home and commuted in which reduced the costs substantially.
The nightlife was very active and there was always something going on.
Yes, there were numerous social acitivities within both my department and team. The local area also has lots to get involved in.
