The Role
My internship was interesting, fun, challenging, exciting and a real learning curve.
There was a lot of respect between collagues and the right balance of communication and leadership.
Support was sufficient, but sometimes more difficult to get.
Days fluctated between too busy and not busy enough, but generally I was occupied but not stressed.
I was given a lot which was great.
My business skills will not relate directly to my degree but in business are invaluable lessons to learn.
The Company
We had good fun
I had no idea what i would be doing until the day i arrived, but from then on my tasks were clear.
They took time to ask what i wanted to get out the placement and then try to make that happen.

The Culture
Yes we all bonded really well.

No my placement was work focused.
