The Role
I have really enjoyed my internship. I have loved every minute of it.
I have felt extremely valued as was always invited to meetings and discussions. I was given an important project with a lot of people being interested in it.
The support I received was incredible. My manager as well as other people in my team (even outside of my team) were available most of the times and all my questions were being answered relatively quickly.
I was always busy in a sense that I always had work to do. I did not feel stressed, I think the tasks were manageable.
I was given a lot of responsibility. I was helping with various tasks. My individual project was almost fully delegated to me.
The skills I have gained will help me tremendously in my degree and future career. Not only technical buy soft skills as well.
The Company
The atmosphere was energetic. People were busy all the time, but there are moments for fun and events to socialize.
The organization was perfect. We knew what we were doing every week - what place, how to be prepared. It was incredible.
I was assigned several trainings to make me familiar with the job. Some of them were useful, others were more related to the responsibilities, but overall I was given a lot of help in my work which helped me to develop my skills.

Very appealing. I really enjoyed my work here and would like to continue. I think I have done some good job.
The Culture
There were constantly events going on. The internship was very well organized socially.
The cost was a bit high, but still manageable. Most of the social events were for free anyway.
The nightlife was very lively. A lot of bars and clubs around.
There were certain societies to get involved in. There were several opportunities to get involved in during the internship.
