The Role
It was very enjoyable being in Canary Wharf and working with intelligent people on real life issues
My colleagues were fun to work with. It took a while to totally connect with everyone but once the connection was made everything was fine.
My manager was very supportive and helpful. We had weekly one to one's and I always got useful feedback.
I was given my own project which I made all the decisions on but I occasionally had to seek higher level consent.
I have learnt how to work in a professional environment and improved my communication (written and oral) skills.
The Company
My team was a relatively small team but everyone was funny and great to work with.
It was relatively well-organised.
I got to attend a lot of training programs and I signed up for online courses that were not related to the work I was doing within the organisation.
