The Role
Deeply enjoyed, would recommend.
Very much so.
Excellent and regular meetings; management sit in same open plan office as everyone else and are easy to talk to.
Often little work despite appetite for it. Perhaps unavoidable due to technical nature of industry?
Set goals and encouraged to reach them on own, within reasonable limits.
Lots of opportunity for expanding theoretical knowledge of construction / fluid dynamics / renewables.
The Company
Very friendly.
Poorly during initial days, but did not matter due to committed supervisor.
A reasonable amount for a transient intern.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Uncertain right now, but at top of my post-graduation list.
The Culture
Only 8 other interns, but all fun people.
London is obviously expensive.
Again, London.
Lots of sports.
