The Role
I really enjoyed my placement and learnt a lot. I worked in the construction team.
I definitely felt valued by my colleagues and felt like I was helping them with the work that I was doing.
I was given lots of support both from my assigned mentors and other people that I reached out to. People were really happy to talk and helpful.
I was quite busy on my placement and the intern projects that were assigned were really helpful in keeping me busy.
I was given a lot of responsibility and had direct contact with both insurers and clients.
I learnt lots of skills and knowledge from this placement. The training on how to present that I received was brilliant.
The Company
Really nice and friendly.
Really well organised. Events were put on for us every week.
They invested lots. The training was brilliant and really helpful.
Very appealing, I think the work here is really interesting and there are clear opportunities to progress.
The Culture
Yes, there is a good social life, which is helped by the internship organised socials.
It is more expensive as it is London.
Good
Yes, lots of opportunities
