The Role
Enjoyed it very much. Working with great people from more senior members to other interns. Work was thought provoking and help and support was always on offer.
Everybody makes you feel welcome and you feel like part of the team from an early stage
Bi weekly meetings were arranged with my manager to discuss work and HR also put on regular drop in sesssions to discuss how the internship is going
Overall a good balance. Never felt over worked and always had something to do.
Contributed to divisional documents and was given freedom to decide how best to approach the topics
Both the technical and soft skills that I developed will stay with me for a long time
The Company
People were friendly but made sure to get the work done
Training and help sessions were very well organised as well as reviews
Made huge effort to harness and realise the potential of all the interns
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
The organisation is a great place to be
The Culture
Regular events were organised but work sometimes got in the way
Fairly good for London
Didn't have much exposure
Volunteering opportunites were arranged for all memebers of staff
