The Role
My team were very supportive and friendly, I learned so much and the company is amazing
My team supported me to learn and showed their appreciation for what I did
Goals and objectives were set to make sure I was always growing and not becoming complacent
Some days I was rushed off my feed and some days I had nothing to do and had to keep myself busy
I was given a lot of responsibility and co-managed a sub-department
I have already been using the skills I learned in my final year of university and will continue to use these skills after graduation
The Company
My colleagues were lovely to work with and the environment within my team and the company as a whole was fun and relaxed
Monthly sessions provided training on personal and professional skills and mini projects were set which kept us in touch with the other interns across the company
The intern sessions for time management and presentations were extremely helpful for me and I was trained on important softwares that will b invaluable to me in future
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I have been offered a position after graduation and can’t wait to go back
The Culture
There was a good social scene within the company however I didn’t socialise with the other interns outside of work much
London is expensive
Camden has a lot of good pubs and London as a whole is unbeatable for nightlife
I was able to get involved in charity events and there were a number of other events readily available as well
