The Role
At times a bit repetitive but overall a very enjoyable placement
Always given guidance when asked for
Varied, had some days where I had a lot of work and some days where I was pushing for more
Given responsibilities over my own projects
May not add to my final academic year but is a great experience and will help me with my further career
The Company
Very relaxed office environment, helpful colleagues.
At times there seemed to be little direction and communication between the placement organizers and management teams
Many training sessions and one-to-ones to ensure that the interns were making the most of the placement
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental
Some very good graduate schemes with fast-tracking for current interns
The Culture
Interns were good at organizing nights out/ meet ups
