The Role
It was alright.
My skillset did not really match the job, so I was not particularlu valued by my colleagues.
Manager was always available for questions and arranged daily meetings for updates.
Not too busy unless a deadline was near!
We developed a software on our own, no spoonfeeding!
Will assist me beyond, not degree.
The Company
Really relaxed, no pressure at all.
Not amazing organisation due to the 'project' nature of the company. Everyone had a different experience.
Not much training, just thrown straight in.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Looks good!
The Culture
Yes, this was a massive perk
In the city, pretty expensive.
In the city, pretty good.
Yep!
