The Role
Everyone was very supportive and the work was insightful.
My colleagues were always helping me with my work and appreciated the efforts that I put in.
My supervisors, even though very busy, always found the time to ask me how I was doing and how my work was coming along.
I always had projects to do but had enough time to complete all of them.
I was asked to create spreadsheets which would help the team even long after the end of my internship.
I have learned a lot over my time here and am very grateful.
The Company
Work was sometimes intense but people always found a couple of minutes to crack a joke.
Set up was perfect from A-Z. Transitions were smooth.
The company has put everything they have at our disposition and has more than encouraged us to use all these resources.
Financial Bonus
Hard to tell as each team has a headcount which is not given to interns.
The Culture
Being in central London means a lot of social events.
London can be quite expensive but the salary compensates.
East London is renown for its nightlife.
Job starts early and finishes around 7pm. This leaves enought time to go the gym etc.....Weekends are free.
