The Role
Awesome co-workers but not much variety in daily tasks.
Wonderful co-workers both during and outside office hours.
Managers always have time to answer questions or assist you with university assignments.
Especially towards the end the tasks had a lack of variety and targets were easy to achieve.
Interns weren't given much responsibility, however this is understandable.
The entire experience and aspects of working in a global company will assist me in the future.
The Company
Depending on the tasks. However, most of the time there was a good atmosphere.
Time by time some unorganized moments occurred. Especially during task dividing.
All questions were answered, but only a short system/company introduction was given at the start of the internship.
Subsidised Canteen
Healthcare/Dental
Once an intern works hard it can pay off with a job offer in the end.
The Culture
Co-workers bonded very well with each other.
London is very expensive, and the internship was unpaid. You do the math.
Always an excuse to not stay indoors during the weekend or weekday evenings.
Not arranged by the company.
