Overview
I was given responsibility for 3 discrete tasks during my internship : Working on Interims, completing the weekly performance report and improving the Centrica Model used by my team. We would have daily team catch ups to discuss what everyone is working on and what's coming up, followed by some independent work (getting help when necessary) and then I would always have a catch up with my line-manager in the afternoon to discuss any problems.
Skills
There's been a great focus on development throughout the placement, whether that's through personal skills or finance specific skills. The reflection document used helps you identify any areas for development and is something I found really useful.
Responsibilities
Yes I had a lot of individual responsibility throughout my placement, with support available when I needed it.
Support & Guidance
Whenever I needed help and/or extra information, the relevant people were always happy to help out.
Culture
It was really easy to approach people outside of your team as everyone I came across was happy to help out and had a genuine interest in you and your work at Centrica. I found it to be a really positive working atmosphere.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my time here at Centrica, the seven weeks went by very quickly!
Yes
Put the time in to do your research on Centrica, including its business structure and values, this will help inform your motivations for wanting to work here which is really important whilst applying.
