The Role
Really useful and enjoyable experience both from a personal and professional standpoint
All my collegues were really helpful in integrating me in the team and supporting me in the daily tasks I had to perform.
The most senior people were always willing to provide guidance and information about the structure of the company and my possible future career perspectives inside it
The workload is important but it is manageable with a careful planning
Having worked in a team of small dimensions I felt really involved in the daily activity and that my contribution was important in order to achive the different objectives
The work enviroment provides you with some skills you cannot acquire in your degree course and that are really useful in order to succeed in your university career
The Company
The atmosphere in the office was really professional but, at the same time, everybody around me was really nice and happy to help me in accomplishing my daily tasks
The entire internship experience was really well-organised and we were given the opportunity to know better the firm and to broaden our network of relationships
The company invests heavily and in many different ways in its interns
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
The Internship Program can end up, as was my case, with a final offer. I believe it represents a really good opportunity to get in the firm.
The Culture
During the internship I have met a lot of fellow placement students with which I will surely keep in contact in the future
You will soon get to know everybody around you
London is a city that offers plenty of opportunities to have an enjoyable nightlife
Work is demanding but surely there are opportunities to get a good life balance
