The Role
I was absolutely gutted that it finished, would have definitely stayed for a few extra weeks had I been required.
I was made to feel really at home by the newest staff and the most senior consultants alike.
My buddy Tom Hepworth couldn't have done any more for me.
The first week to ten days was quite slow, but I think this was due to the time of year and also the necessity to set up email accounts, onboarding checklists etc.
I felt like I was getting involved in some important work so the levels of responsibility given were quite high.
The Company
Perfect balance between everyone working hard but also socialising really well. It was hard to believe that such a prestigious, large company could have such an enjoyable atmosphere!
The company offered every opportunity for core as well as additional training. Us interns were sent down to the London office several times for specific training sessions the company felt that we would find useful.
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Financial Bonus
I sincerely hope that my performance during my internship will earn me a place on the graduate scheme next year!
The Culture
There was some kind of social event going on almost every other day and at a lot of lunch times. A great way to meet some of the staff you might not encounter much during a normal working day.
I lived in a 西瓜视频 accommodation so the costs were manageable.
Leeds has got a really lively and easy to access nightlife.
I personally got involved in 5-a-side football at lunchtimes. I know there was a swiming 'club' as well as other individual activities.
