Analyst Review

It's been a very quick learning curve, but I've had direct exposure to high-level clients, project management experience and have upskilled myself in various software. There's lots of opportunity to move around and try different projects and people are generally very helpful in helping you find something you enjoy.

The team I'm currently in is very supportive and always try to make the interns feel valued- we get the same tasks and responsibilities as grad-level analysts.

Lots of support. My managers are always willing to answer questions and walk me through the different tasks at hand.

This project specifically was very busy, but this is very project-dependant. I know people who are the complete opposite and have a good balance too.

Enough responsibility to learn, and enough guidance to feel well supported.

It's helped me to get a better idea of what I want to do in the future. One of the most valuable parts was meeting and speaking to new people who were often quite senior. There are many social and networking events for this too. On my project I managed to upskill myself in various software which will probably be useful down the line.

People were driven and knew when to take a break (during quarterly updates/shout-outs/networking sessions etc) but also really good at their jobs. Really great to sit close to senior managers and listen to the way they liaise with the client too. Additionally there are many clubs and societies within the company that you can join if you're interested. They're also a very LGBT-friendly company here. Many people walk around with LGBT ally/Mental Health ally lanyards. Very friendly.

My internship is 6 months long but this is usually split into 2 separate 3 month projects (with the opportunity to extend your first project if you really like it). We received training right at the start, the HR and grad teams were very responsive before we started and still helpful after.

They have been very keen to help me develop. My managers all set aside time when I started to learn about my priorities to figure out a way to help me get the best out of this placement. Because there are so many areas of the company they've been really helpful in helping me branch out into the different areas.

Very appealing. It's a great name to have and there are many learning and development opportunities. Many transferrable skills involved too.

Not really within placement students, but within each vertical area (such as Media/products/health and public services departments)

Central London, so very expensive.

The closest would probably be in Shoreditch.

Lots of events are frequently organised. You can sign up to weekly newsletters highlighting what's going on, and different Yammer groups for different clubs and societies.
