The Role
I loved it, wouldn't change one thing from it! It was highly rewarding and I feel I received a lot from it.
My team treated me like family, I never felt like an intern.
I always had someone there I could ask questions too, my team were extremely helpful.
I had a good balance of work, I love being busy so I enjoyed the varied days which I had throughout my year.
I was given a lot of responsible, much more then I expected before joining, I thought I would just be doing someone else's work but it was the complete opposite.
The skills I learnt at Virgin Media are life long skills, I've taken them back to university with me and they are helping me daily there too.
The Company
Fun positive and supportive.
It was very week organised and put together I felt I had a good structure and plan.
I had a training throughout the year so from skatekeholder management, to support with working with different people also on the job training too mean ring new systems.

Company Parties/Events
Working from home
I've already applied for a graduate scheme I loved it so much.
The Culture
Yes we tried to have team nights out every few months and the Christmas party was great too.
I lived at home so couldn't answer this.
I lived at home, and whenever we did go out it would be in central Manchester so great night life.
No not really this would probably be the only negative I have to say.
