The Role
The Company
Relaxed, positive feel with everyone willing to help each other because all were pulling towards the same goal.
Extremely well organised, everything was very slick and set up perfectly so I had the right amount of support and new what I had to be doing at each step.
I was able to seek career advice at any point. I was trained to use the marketplace data software "TGI", the Microsoft Packages to a greater level and both strategy and innovation procedure.

I will be applying for the CRUK graduate scheme.
The Culture
There were multiple events with fellow interns and "thirsty Thursdays" at the pub each week.
We had a £4 lunch allowance that was sufficient for the area. Many interns had to commute long distances and were reimbursed to a good extent. The area in general is quite expensive for an unpaid internship.
I can't say I really explored the nightlife that much but I hear good things as it is central London...
There were loads of opportunities to volunteer at CRUK events, a few team socials and a few sports clubs.
