The Role
I dont think the tasks were the most challenging as I was mainly procuring items.
My colleagues were very warm and friendly. I was regularly consulted and generally felt my views mattered.
My manager was very supportive and we had regular catch ups.
I was more busier at the middle of my internship but quite slow to start with
There was responsibility, in the sense I was able to manage my own workload and independence was expected.
The interpersonal skills will, not sure about the work itself.
The Company
The office atmosphere in general was really good.
The organisation was really good, with lots of centralized events.
Not really sure, as not much beyond centralized training.

Plenty happening at Macmillan. All events were open to interns as well.
