Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

The work of an intern has largely been to do more of the manual processes in the consultancy jobs. It is mostly excel based, but can also include other statistical software if you have the skill. A lot of the day to day tasks are checking numbers are correct, sources are correctly referenced and doing some of the initial work to then be reviewed.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

There is plenty of responsibility to be had should you go and look for it. This is mostly around taking ownership of client related work to be done in the first instance before passing on for review.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Excel skills are something that make a difference at the start. If you don't already have a good grip of excel (i.e. using excel without a mouse for most of the time) then it is certainly something worth picking up on the job. Communication & analysis is key as well as this forms the consultancy aspect of the job.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There is a great support network in the team. Everyone has dedicated people (teal leaders, deputy team leaders, buddy etc.) they can go to, but if you feel more comfortable talking to some people specifically then you can always go to them. There are also lots of training sessions both team specific and company wide.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Company culture is great. Hard working but also very sociable with a relatively flat hierarchy that makes it very relaxed but also productive place to work.
