The Role
Great place to do an internship. The size of the company means you get a good overview of most departments.
5/5
Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions across the board. Lots of people showed gratitude when I did work to help someone out.
5/5
My managers always found time to answer questions and set work. They were also helpful with feedback and any criticism was constructive.
5/5
The amount of work set fluctuated quite a lot. On the whole I was kept busy and even in quiet periods you can always find something to be doing.
5/5
Surprisingly large amount of responsibility, I was doing work which directly helped people out and was never set menial tasks just for the sake of it.
5/5
Not much relevance to degree studies other than maybe giving some research project ideas but the training was good and the internship was a very good opportunity to get a strong understanding of the business.
5/5
The Company

The Culture
On the whole the social scene between the interns was not amazing. There were a few good events but there should have been more.
3/5
London is expensive in general but that's wasn't a surprise.
4/5
There are a few pubs, bars and a club near the office. It's not a lot of hassle to branch out as it is in a central location.
4/5
There were a few events for the interns which were good fun.
