The Role
I gained a lot of experience during the internship. It helped me realise which direction I want to head in in the future.
My colleagues were very helpful and respectful.
I was given as much guidance and support as I required.
Most days I had work to do, but there were some slower ones.
My work was used by the company.
I gained a lot of new skills and knowledge that will no doubt be useful later on.
The Company
The atmosphere was very vibrant and not too stressful.
It was organized and altered to fit my skill set and rate of work.
Most of the new things I learned were self taught.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
I will consider this as an option.
The Culture
All the placement students got along very well. I got the chance to integrate with my colleagues as well.
The cost was relatively high, but not unaffordable.
London nightlife is great (unless you're on a tight budget).
There were social events organized by the company and many opportunities to go out after work with friends and colleagues.
