Interior Design Intern Review

Thoroughly enjoyed myself. The scheme was very well organized by HR and offered a great opportunity not only to learn from the working experience but also to connect with other interns and create future contacts.

Happy to say I felt I was treated like an equal colleague as opposed to being treated like an intern. Some of work I had completed over the course of 4 weeks was being presented to clients and were often key parts to the project. I felt my time and work was valued by my colleagues.

Although the head of my team was often not around, there was always someone to guide and help me. My teammembers and colleagues were always very willing to help.

Some days swamped with work and other days hardly a thing to do! Towards the end of my placement there was work that was continuing on from previous projects and running through.

A fair amount of responsibility to complete given tasks to a particular standard as it was being presented to clients and was often a key component of client presentations.

Technological skills developed will help speed up my work-rate in my final year at university and beyond. Communication skills and work ettiquette, priceless!

Bright, airy, relaxed, yet productive. People would often be talking on the phone or discussing work with colleagues - more relaxed work environment. I felt this boosted productivity and allowed me to feel comfortable in the working environment.

Extremely well organized by HR. A lot of thought and organization went into the induction and various meetings. HR were always very helpful if interns ever required anything. All interns received their own work desk, telephone number, security key card and laptop to work from.

Presentation skills workshop. No other personal training or development workshops were held. No workshops or training sessions by my team either. However, the presentation skills workshop was thorough and very helpful.

Very appealing. They have called me back 3 weeks later to do a couple of days (paid) work with them! Fingers crossed, they may want to keep me on once I graduate from university next summer.

Yes. drinks were held every week organized by fellow interns. HR organized a social event to allow fellow interns and new graduates to connect and mingle. Social sports events were held.

Quite expensive. Central London close to Marylebone and Selfridges. Food and other subsistence worked out to be quite dear. Lived approximately 30 minute commute away outside of Central London therefore not sure about living costs.

Great, lots of cool and hip bars, restaurants and clubs. The office is in a very central location however I never made it out past 10 o'clock on a school night for fear of not waking up the next morning!

A handful, social events, sports events. Not very many, perhaps the team I was in.
