The Role
It was a fantastic 10.5 weeks - an opportunity not to be missed
Everyone was very welcoming and helpful - although it is a professional environment it was easy to build friendship on top of working relationships
My manager was absolutely fantastic despite working from a different location most of the week - always on hand for advice.
Some days were hectic, others were quiet, but all in all I had a reasonably busy/balanced day
I was surprised about how much responsibility I was entrusted with on projects and the like, it enabled me to prove my worth to the company
I've developed a lot over the past few months, when i return to university i can but some of the skills such as time management, communication and analytics into my coursework and exams
The Company
Fantastic atmosphere - there were many other interns around and everyone else was really friendly!
The recruitment team were very well organised and really helpful over the whole of the 10.5 weeks - arranging events and keeping in regular contact
I was given the opportunity to do many this and develop many skills - everything was planned well with the company placing a lot of faith in all interns
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Healthcare from home
There are good prospects to return as a graduate
The Culture
The social atmosphere amongst the other interns was brilliant
I commuted from home
