The Role
Managed to gain an insight into many different areas within the business and found a career that I am definately interested in pursuing after I graduate.
All the work i was given to undertake had a real meaning to the business and was needed by other colleagues.
Support was always available if needed, however in such a busy company it is important to ask for help if needed.
To begin was a bit slow and not too sure what I was doing, however towards the end after personally taking on a lot of projects I was very busy.
Felt like I was a valued colleagues given tasks which other colleagues would normally carry out.
Definately the presentation aspect and the communication with a range of different people will help me to complete my studies and will be skills required beyond this.
The Company
Always helpful people available to ask questions, but also everyone was very hard working.
Very well, although possibly a line manager in my first week would have been helpful.
Helped me develop both personally and in terms of the work i was undertaking.

I have been invited back to the graduate assessment centre where I really hope to gain a place on the Technology Graduate scheme.
The Culture
Everyone was really friendly and sociable.
Central London and so obveosuly quite expensive.
