The Role
Extremely insightful 8 weeks. Employees throughout the company at all different levels are very approachable and keen to help you develop.
Very valued. I had roles that would be worked on as a team, as well as roles which were my responsibility.
There was never a point I felt scared of asking a question. My line manager would always take the time to explain any function I was not clear on.
Would vary depending on demand for projects to be done. There were always a steady stream of daily task to be completed.
My responsibilities were similar to those working around me.
Very little as the skills developed were more practical and based around industry knowledge rather than academic knowledge.
The Company
Well rounded team, great team mentality.
Special events were run for interns aimed at furthering our knowledge.
Company Parties/Events
I received a job offer at the end of my internship which i have since accepted.
The Culture
London is expensive as would be expected.
