SSG Sheffield Summer Intern Experience

Intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The team was friendly, if ever I had a problem or was unsure of something everyone was happy to help. A fun relaxed place to work with flexible hours. The work was interesting and everyone in the team was interested in developing their knowledge. Was able to work on real, worthwhile projects even though the internship is only 12 weeks long.

Cons

Not really any. More information could have been given before starting the internship to better prepare for the limited time working but this was not really a problem. There could be more on-site parking for employees.

Best place to learn... Not so good in employee treatment

Employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Can learn a lot. Every new technology or processor or any IP present in the system will be accessible.

Cons

Treatment and facilities are not the same at different locations. Bangalore office has mediocre facilities. Food options are really bad and ADMIN team is pathetic. Scaling at a very high pace and talent acquisition has not been good of late.

Thanks for leaving a review. I'm quite surprised to hear this feedback regarding the Bangalore office, as the feedback I've received is things have been improving there. Food options now include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, and a full time snacks counter. I also understand that the tech park authority will be starting a common cafeteria for all companies too, this project has already started and may take few months until it is finished. In regards to the admin/Talent Acquisition teams, how have they not been able to support your team? If you do have an issue with the TA team or if there's anything that you feel we can do to improve on our office/facilities in general, please do let your HR business partner know, as we're here to support the business and we need open communication in order to assist! If you do have further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (you can find me on Orgchart). -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
