Marketing and Accounts Intern Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed working for ihorizon and could not flaw them for their training and respect for new and young staff.

I got on with the staff members as the size of the firm was comfortable enough for everyone to know each other and work in a professional and friendly manner.

I was given the support necessary by management but was also given the freedom to work on my own projects and pitch them to my manager across the time in the internship which is something that I have not heard my interns execute in such a short period.

I had plenty of tasks to get on with, including helping a new office open. During my time there, there was always something to be doing or a new skill to learn.

Considering I had never worked in an office environment, I felt like I was given a substantial amount. I would not go as far as running the show but was always given praise that my work was good and took lead on those projects for the time period.

I found it very useful as not only was I seeing what office life would be like, I was doing what my first-year modules taught me, like from completing balance sheet reconciliations, seeing a payroll manager system and learning how to use it and targeting marketing material to clients or potential clients

My placement was well organised and I was always left some work to complete and if I had any questions I would have them answered so I could execute work to a high standard to match and exceed their expectations

I have thoroughly enjoyed working for ihorizon and could not flaw them for their training and respect for new and young staff.

I was offered a job with ihorizon. Unfortunately I couldn't take the offer up as I am currently in my second year as a full time student with other commitments, but still have connections and will continue to support the firm when possible.

Can't speak for fellow placement students as I was the only student in the office. My colleagues were friendly and interesting and were active social, having group outings for lunch to try out the food in Shoreditch and local places, it's on our doorstep really, so it's rude not to.

Central London, known for being pricey so what you expect. I paid higher rent but was on a short turnaround time on my flat (2 days) so was pretty desperate to get a flat for the period and ended up paying £700 pm for a flat in Brick Lane - walking distance from the firm's office in Old Street and when working in Stratford, not too far from Liverpool Street tube station walking distance to get the Central line. Social life is what you expect in any capital, lots to do and try and therefore people to meet.

Nightlife is what you expect in any city, lots to do and try and therefore people to meet. Little pricey but again expected, it's almost stereotypical in London. £6 for a spirit and mixer is typical for a drink and is pretty safe, easy connections through tube routes, night buses and also download Uber.

Central London, you'd be daft to think there are no activities to get involved in. From business networking events to possibly pancake tossing competitions somewhere, though they may not be organised by work, we did discuss them and sort of advertise them in the office as you have a conversation. They can be free or chargeable as you would typically expect but 100% plenty to do.
