The Role
I really enjoyed the experience. I learnt a lot and it helped to give me insight into the direction I would like to take in my career.
My colleagues were friendly, supportive, professional and inspiring! They made me feel completely part of the team and treated me as one of them rather than as just 'another intern'.
Everyone-from HR, to people services, to my team and manager-were all very helpful throughout my internship!
Most days were extremely busy with no two days the same.
One of the highlights for me was the amount of responsibility we were given. It really meant that we got really involved in our projects!
The skills I learnt didn't necessarily help me with my degree as I have finished studying. However, it opened my eyes to a number of important skills I need for the future in my career which proved to be a really valuable realisation.
The Company
Full of fun, hardworking, inspiring, creative, ambitious and driven individuals.
Extremely well organised!
King was great. They really invested in you individually and we had the opportunity to have weekly presentations from the CEO to the CMO. We also had the opportunity to take part in personal development courses which was great.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Extremely appealing. It is a great company to be a part of!
The Culture
Definitely. We had a great social atmosphere between all the interns and also between other colleagues.
Soho is diverse-from more expensive to more affordable places!
