The Role
This was a really well organised placement with a lot of repsonsibility for an internship. A little more office based than I'd hoped.
A really friendly and inclusive team who make me feel valued all the time.
A couple of my mentors were home based, so occasionally difficult to get in touch with but they are always very supportive.
Some days more busy than others, but two big projects kept me entertained.
Two events were under my control. So, a lot!
Brilliant experience in Event organisation. Invaluable skills learnt.
The Company
Some days were quieter than others as some people were home based. But it was always a very friendly office.
From the induction to the progeress meetings to the mid-internships training. Incredibly well organised.
We were well inducted into the company. Skills for the job were expected already.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Healthcare/Dental
I would love to work here, but it's a big company with a lot of competitions for the places.
The Culture
With 45 interns there were plenty of people to socialise with.
central London...
Great options... if you could afford it.
With such a big company there are always events and fundraisers and volunteer opportunities.
