Test analyst Intern Review

I learnt a lot, met some amazing people, felt that I contributed significantly, and even had a lot of fun.

I adored everyone I worked with, all of my fellow interns, HR and the people who trained us. I learnt lots from all of them, felt helpful, and enjoyed the time I spent with all of them.

Training was interesting and very helpful, my managers on my project were always willing to teach me new things and answer my questions, and HR always kept in touch with us and made sure we were happy and doing well.

There were a few occasions when I had very little work to do due to problems with the system or because a lot of the project team were on client site. The rest of the time I feel I had a very good work load.

I was pleasantly surprised about how much responsibility I was given: in just a few weeks I was creating designs and tutorials which were given directly to the client and used by them. I feel that my superiors were great at spotting where I had the potential to contribute something significant and encouraging me to do so.

Before beginning the placement I was worried about what I would do when I graduated but now I feel I have a foot in the door of the industry, a great interest in it, and a good understanding of how to begin to be successful.

My colleagues were interesting and friendly, and always happy to give me a new task.

Training was thorough even though it was brief, straight after this I joined my project where I had an informative induction immediately and began work that morning. Every week HR organised a meaningful and fun social for all of the interns, and towards the end of the placement there were several reviews, presentations and discussions to bring it to a useful conclusion.

I found the initial training very useful as well as interesting, engaging, exciting and fun. I was in constant contact with HR who kept me informed every step of the way, my progress was monitored on my project and by HR and I felt I was pushed into achieving as much as possible. I had the opportunity to test new training sessions and give my opinion on them. Our meetings and socials kept me informed and motivated to continue my career with the company.

I have been offered a graduate job with them.

The company organised socials once a week which were great, but we also met up of our own accord once or twice a week. On my project we had an engagement scheme which meant we had several meals, celebrations and drinks evenings over the summer which I enjoyed very much.

As I was working in the city, everything was very expensive. However, our weekly socials were paid for by the company.

Not much to complain here: its London.

Mostly socials but also meetings and training.
