HR Summer Analyst (Intern) Review

Overall a really positive experience. A great working environment, surrounded by people who are the best in their field.

I felt that the work I was doing genuinely alleviated the work load of my team. I felt valued as a fellow team member and my contribution to the team was recognised.

My working environment was collaborative and supportive. I felt comfortable turning to my team to ask for advice but perhaps I should have taken more initiative personally to ask for feedback, don't expect it.

The work load was quite disparate. Some weeks I would have a really heavy work load and then other times I would have to ask for more work or try and find my own ways to be productive. As the internship progressed, it was easier to take charge of work independently but regardless, work load was dependent on the business of the team.

Understandably, it takes time to build up a relationship with your team where you can be trusted to take ownership. It was mainly within the second half of my internship that I was given a higher level of responsibility and that was great.

Time management - the fast paced working environment here as improved my reaction time towards deadlines. I'm more thoughtful and concise. Communication - How I interact with colleagues, my confidence in giving presentations and improved written skills.

Relaxed and friendly but at the same time, you are conscious of the importance of the work and the consequences. Overall, a welcoming office to be in.

Very efficient team, who kept the interns well informed about any events or demands of the placement. I was aware who my point of contact was, who was easy to contact and share any concerns/feedback with.

There was a great deal of time investment within the interns. Senior leaders happily take the time to chat with you and offer advice. The sense of hierarchy within the firm, whilst present is quite relaxed. The induction training was well organised and very useful.

Very high - I would thoroughly enjoy a career within this organisation.

The campus recruitment team organised a few social events for the fellow interns, which was great. Additionally, the interns organised various social events amongst themselves.

London is an expensive city but the opportunities for socialising are the best.

A corporate crowd but there is plenty of places to go nearby in London.

Reasonable opportunities for additional activities; corporate responsibility days, charity fun runs...
