The Role
I learnt a lot, got on well with my team & graduate recruitment very organized and upfront about your progress.
Felt very valued from day 1, did a lot of little jobs for all members of team.
Mid internship was very organized and a set structure, always felt like my manager gave me constant feedback
I had peaks where I was extremely busy, but had days where I had nothing to do.
I felt like for an intern that I was given a lot of responsibility.
Very relevant skills & knowledge which will help me in my final year at uni
The Company
Atmosphere was quite light hearted. However, was mainly sitting at desks focusing on work.
Very well set up from the start, and carried on throughout.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Extremely!!
The Culture
Very good social scene, went out regularly to bars around Canary Wharf. Social scene first set up through graduate recruitment with initial drinks on first day, followed up with many more social events.
It is in London, so don't expect it to be as cheap as university
Very good nightlife, many bars around the office. However, to go out clubbing you need to go to central London which is very easy via tube/DLR
