The Role
Really friendly team, loads of responsibility!
Really nice bunch!
I was taught loads of new skills and helped when I had trouble with tasks
Even when I wasn't busy, I was given a series of long term projects, so always had something useful and interesting to do.
Although my brilliant manager kept an eye on what I was doing, I was able to take on different responsibilities.
Talking about the skills I gained from Frontline was really helpful in securing my next job. Also, the team went out of their way to introduce me to several people relevant to my field of interest who were able to offer me advice and support.
The Company
Quite a relaxed office, but there were regular whole-team meetings and opportunities to socialise to keep everyone up to date and involved.
The internship was for a very specific role, and I was able to usefully fit into the team.
I was able to learn really quickly by taking on new tasks. These were carefully explained, and I always felt able to ask for help or further explanations.
Flexi Time
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
My contract was extended from 2 to 5 months, and the team put me in touch with their contacts to find work in my area of interest.
The Culture
I was the only intern, however the team are young and friendly.
Central London! But this obviously had other benefits - it was really convenient to get to and lost of fun after work which made up for the cost.
Right in the middle of London!
Frontline has links with ARK, who have an extensive activities programme for staff.
