The Role
It definitely exceeded expecatations! I never got up in the morning dreading work.
My team were very welcoming. I was given a lot of responsibility early on and this continued to grow throughout the year.
I had regular meetings with my managers to see how I was getting on and this is where I could request for more work and raise any issues.
A lot more than I imagined. You are trusted with some very important aspects to the business.
I've learnt so much that I can take with me to uni and to my next job. I feel I would be ready to enter a job after experiencing what it is like to work for a large company and I am confident that my skills could impact on the company.
The Company
Very fun! Rarely a dull moment even during the busy times!
Very well. The programme and the company welcome interns and the programme is run very well.
A lot. The company go out their way to ensure you get the most out of the year. Can't reccomend enough!

The Culture
Brilliant social scene being in London! Often drinks after work and plenty of socialising amongst the interns!
Cost of living is very high... but you're living in the best city in the world! Always something going on and something to do.
Holborn is central London so plenty of places to go out around the area. Not many places are cheap but you're guaranteed to have a good night!
Plenty of clubs/activities in London.
