The Role
I enjoyed the work quite a bit but at times it could be slightly boring and repetitive at times.
I felt really valued, they were very inclusive and treated me as they would treat any other employee in the company.
Very good guidance was given. Supervisors always offered help and you could always email them whenever you had a problem.
There were mixtures, I was quite busy on some days and had to stay slightly later on some days to finish work, however there were times I was allowed to leave early due to little work.
I was given a fair bit of responsibility on my job but sometimes I felt not enough but this is understandable as I didn't have the required training to complete some tasks.
The skills gained here were invaluable and will definitely help me in the future especially in other interviews.
The Company
Quite relaxed, not too intense and everyone was friendly
It was quite well organised and we all received a schedule beforehand.
They invested a lot of time and money and clearly wanted to train us up to return to the company
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Quite appealing, I would like to work here and the progression is good.
The Culture
Yes many social events were organised by the company and other interns
Quite expensive as in London
It is London so there are many bars and clubs.
There were some although not as many as I would have thought
