Finance Analyst Review

It was great to get experience from a globally recognised company. My placement has given me the opportunity to develop and improve on a wide range of personal skills, and then applying these to real life situations that hold a lot of responsibility.

I felt highly valued by the team that I worked in, from day one I was treated just like a full time employee in that team would be. Was trusted with business critical tasks on a weekly basis so my work was never under appreciated.

Support and guidance were available at all times, your supervisor/manager would be your main point of contact and are there to help with any questions regarding your day-day tasks, personal development and so on. Further mentors are assigned (who are managers from other departments) to each intern - great networking opportunity.

There are days where I am very busy and there are days where I am less busy. Most days are well balanced, I have time to complete my tasks and take regular short breaks to stretch my legs and have a drink or a casual chat.

I was challenged by the amount of responsibilities I was given. However, with support from my team, this was something that I got used to quickly. Also as the placement is for a duration of 13 months, the first month is spent with your predecessor and is refereed to as the handover period.

I feel that the skills I have developed will be of great use and advantage in my future career. I have definitely improved a wide range of skills such as my personal skills, time management etc, this year has allowed me to realise my biggest strengths and weakness.

It's a very relaxed atmosphere. As in any place of work, when schedules are tight, pressure increases a bit and the environment becomes a little bit more hectic, with people trying to complete their work. 99% of the time, everyone is very happy, chatting, relaxed and doing their job in the best way. It's fun, enjoyable and everyone is helpful

The intern programme at Intel has been going on for 20+ years therfore it is extremely organised with inductions, catch up calls, events for interns.

The invest in personal training and development was vast, with a range of face-to-face training sessions, and ongoing online and mobile training sessions. There is always training out there for anyone to undertake and a vast amount of resource online. There is a huge focus on personal development in the companies culture which also helps .

See this as a 13 Month Interview, Intel seems to put alot of emphasis on their interns, some of the managers now at Intel have come from the Intern Programme

There was a great social scene amongst fellow Interns. With around 50+ interns based at my location there was always lots of social get together and nights out. .

Cheap, Cheap and Cheap......... Rent is average 250-350pcm

Not much going on at Swindon, so if you are looking for quite nights Swindon is perfect

Yes most definitely. Wide range of activities were going on all the time as there is a large student community there will be alot of interns who share the same interests .
