The Role
I enjoyed the internship to its full extent- I couldn't have asked for a better team or position.
My colleagues treated me in the most fair and friendly manner which made me extremely comfortable. This encouraged me to involve myself more. Shout out to my manager for being as cool as a cucumber.
Extremely well; my manager assisted me greatly in managing my workload, and sorted any problems I experienced in a swift and timely manner.
It entirely depended on the day. One week I'd be neck-deep, the next I'd be asking the creative team if they needed any extra assistance. It's always nice to have quiet days, and I have experienced very few overwhelming workloads (I believed these occurred only twice or three times).
I was an important factor for the UK CP team's creative needs, but I wasn't essential for the marketing part, but that's because I wanted to be more involved with the creative business.
Literally skills fo' life, yo. I've learned so much in the past year that I couldn't write it all down in one sitting. I've got a great overview of the company, and I've been greatly educated with the licensing business.
The Company
Superb- everyone has a laugh in a non-distracting way. The radio is also always on, always on a different station.
Extremely well. The amount of courses that are courtesy of the company is impressive.

Couldn't be more appealing.
The Culture
It's Central London, so I'd be surprised if I could get a can of coke for under 80p.
Again, it's in Central, so clubs errywhere. Doesn't necessarily mean they're all good though.
