Pros
- Only interns, meaning a lot of support from each other and getting to know new people in a new city.
- Several nationalities from Europe, especially in the summer when there are more interns.
- Gained an internship in London on my CV.
- Now knowing exactly what not to do in a business.
- Please request to speak to current interns during your job-interview and ask for their experiences to guide your judgement. Do not make the mistake of joining like I did.
Cons
- Only interns, meaning no learning experience except from each other.
- Contact with the owner (and only employee of the business) is via Skype.
- Owner only comes to the office one morning or afternoon, each week.
- Owner is only interested in you doing exactly what he wants you to do, and only gives negative feedback.
- Owner does not accept or tolerate personal input.
- Unpaid, not even the commute.
- The 'office' is a single room at the top of a 3-story building in brixton that gets beaming hot in summer time.
