The Role
It was a great experience - learnt a lot and built up a great network. The culture of the firm is absolutely fantastic.
You really feel as you're part of the team
Everyone was very supportive and willing to help you out - this is true for questions as well as project work help.
I was busy every day with the exception of 2/3 days. There is always a lot to do and plenty of options to get involved in lots of activities
I improved my excel and powerpoint skills which is something that will help both at university and in my career. I learnt a lot about the industry during the summer and this will stand me in good stead for the future.
The Company
There was a good vibe in the office - there was a "buzz" due to the nature of the industry which made the environment stimulating.
Very well structured programme.
