The Role
I really enjoyed the internship. My confidence was boosted, I learnt a lot and I met some amazing new people.
My colleagues were supportive and enjoyable to work with and my opinion was always valued. Some of them have become very close friends in only 2 months.
My manager provided me with enough guidance and advice throughout the program. He was also very approachable and friendly. I would love to work with him again!
There was always something to do, there were several projects on at the same time. The days flew by very quickly as the work was also really interesting.
I was given what I think was enough responsibility for an intern and what I worked on will have a positive impact on the users. However there were too many risks to allow me to work on something more important. I don't think this is a bad thing at all though.
I improved my technical skills hugely and a lot of what I've learnt from that will make my studies at university easier. I also gained a large insight into the networking aspect of the professional world and have made some very valuable contacts.
The Company
Very professional but also lively and most people are happy to take time out to talk if needed. It has been a very nice place to work.
Everything has been explained to us through the internship, there was never a time I felt forgotten or broed.
They invested a lot into the program, a lot of time and money. This can be demonstrated by all of the events we attended and all of the very busy people who took their time out to meet with us.

Company Parties/Events
The likelihood of being offered a position here is very high, they only take as many interns in as they plan to hire. My manager has already told me he would like to see me back next year.
The Culture
We went out together every week and I kept in contact throughout the day via internal messaging systems.
Living and socialising is London is very expensive however we are paid a lot in order to account for this
There is a lot of choice and the transport system is very good.
There was always something to do and the other interns set up events on some days.
