The Role
Only due to different personal interests.
Very open culture.
Everyone provided assistance and help when needed
Great mix of work, networking, and presentations.
Responsible for presenting, taking the initiative, meeting your mentor, etc.
Learned the essence of hard work
The Company
People generally enjoyed their jobs
Placement was organised very well, with a nice mix of events.
MS gave every opportunity for us to put ourselves forward. Excellent.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare/Dental
Decided the industry was not for me. This does not reflect upon MS at all.
The Culture
Meet and made future contacts with other interns very easily
Good balance. Decent prices, but it's London.
Great areas to have drinks with employees and other interns.
Seems that MS hosts many out-of-work activities, such as volunteering.
