The Role
I have absolutely loved my job.
The team were supportive and we all get along really well!
I have bi-weekly meetings with my line manager to discuss progress etc.If there was anything I needed, anyone in the team would also have been approachable.
my days range constantly and I always have a number of things to do - my day goes by at the speed of light!
I have my own projects to manage, as well as having my own major responsibilities including the website etc.
working in a real life business has been the most valuable thing for University, so that I can apply the business models to work.
The Company
There are always jokes in the office, but whe the work needs to be done, everyone gets their head down!
We have personal reviews and the company are genuinely interested in your progress and career progression.

The Culture
there a 40+ interns at the company and many live together, including myself and 2 other girls in my house.
the social scene is great but London in general is obviously expensive
good local clubs
lots of inter-company events
