Summer Intern Review

I believe that I made the most of my placement, It did help that my colleagues were flexible and happy for me to crack on.

I did feel that I brought something to the table, it is difficult to make an impression in a month.

Varying rotation gave varying support, understandably if there is a team going through a particularly busy period they will not be able to spend as much time with an intern.

The placement definitely assisted in expanding my knowledge, for example, I know that some of the work that I have been doing will go hand in hand with some of the modules that's I will have to undertake next year.

Originally I was only meant to be sitting in one team, however, I managed to swing a rotation so I could get some depth and variation in my experience> The teams were flexible to accommodate for me.

The office in Manchester is certainly less corporate than what it is in London. Different teams, different atmospheres and different types of people according to skill set. The same in any work place. Overall, I found people accommodating and happy to help.

There wasn't a lot of time for training, there were pockets of training, however, I would say that I was fairly assertive and sought what I needed. I collected the resources that I needed and I am going to leave with them :)

It gave me a full incite to the job as a graduate.

There were pliantly of opportunities I took to socialise. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This wasn't particularly helpful as the stuff that you do on insights is all fairly ubiquitous in nature. I went off to find what I wanted to do by getting around the various teams and asking.

All day every day.

Only downside is that people can mug you off for being an intern, not people from the company I was working at, just others outside it. 9 times out of 10 people were friendly and I made some good contacts.

Yes, only from socialising and talking about things outside of work.

yes I would, I would recommended them to make the most of it and don't be afraid of asking.
