The Role
Really enjoyed it
Everyone offered a lot of support and were always willing to answer any questions.
A lot of support given - there was an induction by graduate recruitment team and each intern had a buddy and counsellor for the duration of the internship. It was clear who you should contact if you had any questions.
Some days were quieter than others. It was your responsibility to make colleagues aware that you were available and to ask them for work - this was a good way of meeting everyone in the department.
Good amount
Improved writing skills when drafting emails to clients.
The Company
Friendly and fun atmosphere
Very well set up - induction at the start with social events. A lot of contact with summer internship HR team.

The Culture
Summer internship team organised lots of social events for all the interns and we also went for drinks after work a lot as well.
London has lots of places to go.
Yes a lot of sports clubs, volunteering opportunities and blogging.
