The Role
One of the best internships I have undertaken so far. Really considerate of interns and they have set up a "structure" around the internship programme to ensure that you get the most out of your time there.
Very. Not only they were friendly and helpful but they also value your opinion on business matters.
My supervisor was very helpful throughout the internship and he was overall brilliant.
Quite busy, which was ideal for me, as there were times in my other internships were I was bored due to a lack of work. However, the amount of work was not overwhelming and I never felt under pressure.
I was assigned in charge of a weekly bulletin and I was given an individual project to complete, which I then presented to senior team members.
I feel I managed to develop my problem-solving, project management and presentation skills through this internship, which would prove very useful in my worklife.
The Company
Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Very well organised. We were given a personal development pack to set personal goals and review our progress throughout the internship, we held an overall internship review with my manager every 4 weeks and there also was a volunteer placement executive who coordinated everything and helped us settle in very quickly.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
If I would have stayed in the UK for longer I would definitely have applied, however I am moving back home permanently.
The Culture
Yes, all interns were very social and there were regular social events.
