The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of work and met lots of interesting people.
Immediately felt welcome and part of the team.
Before I started I was allocated a buddy (someone relatively new to the firm) who I could ask any questions to before I started. During the placement, everyone was happy to answer any questions I had.
There was always work I could help out with.
Given as much responsibility as first year graduate.
Skills learnt during my time here will prove invaluable should I be offered a job on the graduate scheme.
The Company
Very friendly, everyone was happy to talk to me
Very well organised, given a clear schedule of what company, city and suitable travel arrangements were.
Only there for a short period of time but company funded both a regional induction day (overnight stay at a hotel) and a service line training day in the office.
Company Parties/Events
Offered an interview for a place on the graduate scheme at the end of the placement. Within the organisation, the career progression is very appealing.
The Culture
A few of us met up beforehand to travel down together, everyone was very friendly. Company organised a social for us to meet people within the department.
Manchester, fairly normal prices.
Manchester, everything you could ever want.
There was a social organised by the company for the interns. Also invited to play football with people from the team.
