The Role
Good internship, with a large cohort of interns to share problems and spend time with.
As I became more valuable to the team, I was more involved in the direction taken by the team, decisions about projects etc.
At the beginning of my internship, I was given a large amount of support. My supervisor didn't appear to mind my questions, as long as I had tried to solve the problem a bit myself first.
Not too busy, which gave me time to go to the gym during the day.
As I progressed in my internship, I was given more and more internship.
Certainly helped me with one of my modules this year, which is using the tools I used during in my internship.
The Company
Generally, everyone was very focussed. Fridays were a bit more relaxed with more banter.
Very well organised, with training and talks at the start of the internship.
We were given a fair amount of training at the beginning of the internship, although not all of it was useful for me.

Working from home

The structure of the company is pretty rigid, many people had been in the same role/title for 5+ years.
The Culture
Yes - especially at the start.
