About You
Senior members were keen to help out and help you to learn. Only a short insight, so couldn't expect to experience too much, but great people.
Felt welcomed by the team, and while I couldn't achieve too much whilst there, people were helpful and allowed you to learn lots.
Helped whenever you didn't understand anything. Nothing was too much problem
Helped in some great projects, however could not get into much depth whilst there for 2 weeks
The Company
A couple of days seemed quite unplanned, and didn't see too much of other interns, however people on the floor were great.
People seemed to really enjoy their work.
They allowed me experience with the business, but was very much up to me to make the most of it
Easy to imagine what full time life would be like there
Introductory lectures helped to explain more about the firm.
Teaches all you would need to know about the professional services industry.
Everything Else
Paid insight, so can't complain, but not massive pay.
Got taken out by staff on my floor, however no formal events and had tob make individual plans if I wanted to meet other interns.
Nothing formal, but opportunities to network if you were proactive.
Some Corporate Social Responsibility, but apart from that, not there for enough time to expereicne sports / other activities.
Two week insight gives far more than any one week placement would.
