The Role
Highly enjoyable. Such a great experience / opportunity.
Felt very much part of the team which is important.
So helpful and willing to help me learn.
Work loads varied at first, but then once I had done a good bit of work I was set more demanding tasks which I was pleased about, and eventually was given more and more.
The projects I have been doing are highly useful to the team.
Skills that can be so applicable, especially the use of excel and powerpoint, as well as internpersonal skills.
The Company
The office environment is great. It has the balance of being able to have good conversations with other colleagues, but also quiet to be able to work hard.
Very well orgainsed. HR graduate recruitment made a continuous effort to ensure my placement was busy and are always quick to respond with questions. Within the departments I worked, projects were set out for me to complete.
There were a number of training sessions in the first week of the internship which were very useful, as well as there being a number of presentations throughout the ten weeks.
Subsidised Canteen
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Healthcare/Dental
I would be delighted if I was able to gain full time employment after my placement.
The Culture
Yes. Good social scene.
Where I was based was the same and what you expect anywhere else in London.
Highly recommended.
Plenty to do.
