The Role
A fantastic experience.
Felt more valued some days than others.
It varied depending on how busy my supervisors were. As a whole I felt I had adequate support but prefer a bit more of a hands-on mentor.
It varied greatly.
Good level of work for someone at my level but some periods were more quiet than others.
Post-graduate at the time of internship. Very useful for future career.
The Company
Good professional/fun balance.
Other than training sessions it did not feel like an internship.
Good training sessions though not always at the right level.
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
The department I worked in is not a growing part of the business therefore extremely limited.
The Culture
It varied through the year.
London is expensive.
Lots of variation.
Announcements are generally made office wide.
