The Role
You felt welcomed by the team and were included in all business as usual activities and social events
You were in essence dropped in the deep end however there was always someone to ask questions and guide you through
Depends on the markets
you were treated as an equal member fo the team thus had equal responsibility
Lots of transferable skills from the role and lots of help with CVs and future careers.
The Company
was well organized
Depends on the department, mone didnt spend that much time as i was only there a while however other interns noted that they were given the same level of training as the grads.
