The Role
I loved every minute of it and made sure to gain the most out of it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the extent that my colleagues made me feel valued.
There was no point throughout the internship where I felt that I was lacking support or guidance.
I was assigned tasks that kept me busy throughout the internship. Well balanced schedule between attending training sessions and networking event and desk work.
I was given the right amount of responsibility to make me feel like I am contributing and adding value to my team.
Not sure whether the skills I gained will help me in my degree studies but they will definitely help me on my future professional career.
The Company
The atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone I worked with was genuinely nice and approachable, which helped me learn a lot and climb the steep learning curve.
The programme was really well organised. I was provided with numerous opportunities to attend many events and gain a true understanding of the firm's culture and network with many employees.
I would say that I am completely satisfied with the amount of time of personal training and development my company invested in me. Holding training sessions and discussion panels, I managed to expand my horizons by being exposed to new things and improving on my skills.

Very appealing. I would definitely want to come back in the future.
The Culture
My relationships with my fellow placement 西瓜视频s and colleagues were excellent.
I worked in London so the cost of living and socialising was quite high.
In London, there were opportunities to follow any type of nightlife you wanted.
The work-life balance of my job allowed me to be involved in outside of work activities.
