I loved my placement It was hard work at the start but the more I learned the more I immersed myself in the work and enjoyed it
I have thoroughly enjoyed my year working at the Barnard Castle site I have been involved in a high profile project which I have found very rewarding and enjoyable
I found the work generally inetersting and challenging but did find it hard to ajust to working a full week and sometimes the work became a bit monotonous
I enjoyed coming to work every single day It was really easy to get up in the mornings
A very enjoyable year met some great people Learnt a huge amount not only about my degree subject but working life in general and how a company works
Some real challenges on a say to day basis Job role very varied which kept it interesting
It was quite hard at first but once I gained knowledge my confidence increased
The year has flown by and I believe that it is because of how much I have enjoyed the placement Mondays are always difficult but they are made better when you enjoy the work you are doing
I was given real responsibilities and tasks that any other employee would be asked to conduct and expected to deliver just as much also I got to visit many sites across the country and met many great teams both within and outside of GSK
Much better than expected
Very valuable experience made some great friends
I loved working for GSK for the year they are an amazing company to work for and really make the effort to make you feel like more than an Industrial Placement student
There was no science in the job which was unfortunate as I am studying a Chemistry degree
I had a fantastic time on my placement I found the work engaging challenging and thoroughly enjoyable At no point did I feel that the work I was given was trivial derivative or demeaning
It was an amazing experience and despite the long commute and adjusting to full time work I loved it and have made some amazing friends
The placement was a mixture of IT and business skills related I would have liked the opportunity to develop more in IT skills The placement offered lots of positive opportunities for me that I made the most of its a great place to work if you are loo
This placement was thoroughly enjoyable as the company provides various extracurricular and team building activities
A truly enriching experience I had the opportunity not only to discover research in a global company but also to understand how a company works The topic of the placement really matched what I was looking for at that time
