The Role
It was extremely challenging and demanding but it was exactly what I wanted to experience to see how far I can push myself.
Everyone was very nice and approachable.
Not too much guidance as the point is to learn on your own. The support was fantastic.
Could not possibly have done any more.
Varied from task to task.
An experience that is invaluable and the skills I learnt will be useful for life.
The Company
Stressful but fun.
I did not like the change in structure but I understand the need to allow for uncertainty around the olympic period.
An incredible amount of planning and man power was invested into the internship. It is clear that the process is taken very seriously.
Financial Bonus
Would love a job but the statistics are against me.
The Culture
Many organised social events.
Extremely expensive.
Limited.
If you worked your hardest at work, you would have no time to do much of anything else.
