The Role
It was an incredible journey, I enjoyed meeting all the bright people across the company and getting to work alongside them on fascinating projects, which allowed me to learn and develop my knowledge of the role and the business.
My team and division were very supportive and helped me throughout my internship, they also made time to answer my sometimes silly questions.
I was given lots of guidance by my manager and those involved in my development during the internship.
I was relatively busy during my 10 weeks as an intern, there were moments where due to the overlap of employees taking holidays, work was slow but it picked up straight after, also there are so many learning resources available to interns that you can keep occupied regardless.
I was treated as a full time employee and was given a variety of different projects to work on, some even outside my role/division.
The huge amount of resources made available to me, gave me the opportunity to really push myself and gain insights into subjects that were previously unknown to me and I believe the knowledge I accumulated from my experience will be immensely valuable in both my future career and academic endeavours .
The Company
very friendly and welcoming, full of products and great co-working spaces .
It was organised in terms of structure but due to business developments and the fast paced nature of the process, dates were adjusted frequently.
a very significant amount, we were booked for learning workshops from our first week all the way to the last. also the resources available to interns and staff online is very significant as well.
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
well established, there are a variety of paths you can take post internship from grad schemes to full time positions.
The Culture
Yes, could have been better but it depends a lot on the schedule of others, regardless, there were a number of fun socials during the internship.
You will be provided with information in this regard before your internship and at the beginning.
there are a number of bars and restaurants around the office but for nightlife you have to travel to central London if your looking for more options.
Yes, loads of activities are setup throughout the year from charity work to innovation challenges, its your choice to opt in.
