The Role
It was a really great experience that I will never forget!
Everyone was very helpful and kind, but I was still only an intern, so I was not expecting much. However my expectations were surely exceeded.
My buddy and manager were great
There is a really good balance between being busy and having light work to do, especially since I could manage my time by myself
I had an individual project to do from start to finish
Extremely useful practical and soft skills were learned here
The Company
Very good atmoshphere that I enjoyed
Very good organisation
a lot of time and effort were spent on us
Working from home
Would really come back
The Culture
Plenty of fun activities
London is very expensive, but in comparison to the salary it is manageable
London, enough said!
Many activities outside work
