The Role
Enjoyed coming to work everyday. Rarely had bad days
I felt very valued.
Had a 1:1 session with my manager every 2 weeks. Often called them for advice.
Mostly busy, did have very quiet patches.
I was able to have as much responsibility as I wanted.
Learnt far more during my placement than at Uni.
The Company
Changeable. Very quiet during some periods of the year
Very well organised, run by previous intern
I was able to approach them for further training when I wanted it.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Very appealing, very competitive application process though.
The Culture
Brilliant Intern community.
Wasn't too bad, slightly more expensive than student living.
Reading nightlife is ok,
Brilliant intern community and social events
