The Role
Great culture, great people.
I was able to get involved straight away in a number of team events, both professionally and socially.
My manager would go through any questions I had clearly and simply, and provide me with any support I needed.
Always plenty of tasks and interesting projects to take on.
I was surprised at the amount of responsibility given to me within just weeks of starting. I really appriciated the confidence that my team had in me to tackle significant tasks.
I dont believe it is material that will be in my degree, but from a business and life skills point of view, it has been very beneficial.
The Company
Professional atmosphere, but plenty of banter flying around!
The whole process was very simple, from application to phone interview to assessment centre.
Was given as much support and training as I wanted. Had access to the business university so was able to learn about a wide variety of subjects.
Company Parties/Events
I would happy come back and work full time as a graduate.
The Culture
Plenty of lunches and nights out with other interns and colleagues.
London prices!
Plenty of bars and clubs in the City.
Given the opportunity to get involved with social clubs outside of work, as well as take part in a number of community events.
