The Role
More than the role itself, the environment itself was the most enjoyable part!
I think I was more busy as I also took on an additional role, as the interns social offficer.
I was initially quite surprised as I was given quite a bit of responsability.
Not sure about my degree, but alot of the skills will be transferable to my professional life.
The Company
There was training at the begining and follow up days, but it was more generic then specific to me.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
The Culture
I was the social offer and worked with Macmillan colleagues to create a good social buzz for other interns.
As we were based in central london, the costs were pretty high!
I took part in the staff sports day and attended some other events my team were involved in.
