The Role
Very much so. The sociable aspect of being involved with a lot of other interns made it very enjoyable.
I felt valued and everyone was very friendly.
I got given a line manager and a graduate buddy, both of whom were very supportive.
Seemed to fluctuate. Sometimes very busy, sometimes relatively quiet.
Reasonable amounts.
Very much so. On the job training taught me personal skills, technical skills and time management.
The Company
Serious most of the time, but the people were very friendly and were also very fun.
Exceptional.
They invested a lot of money. I took part in several training days and off-site visits throughout my placement.
