The Role
Very enjoyable- both the environment and the role itself.
This role comes with big responsibilities, My colleagues are able to see and value this.
There's always help available when you need it.
Everyday is different. Some days you can be extremely busy, other days your workload might not be as much.
A good amount- which is nice, as you truly feel valued.
The skills attained by this placement varies. It will help me with my dissertation in my final year at university- as I now truly understand the business world/world of pricing etc.
The Company
Very lively. Its a good atmosphere.
There's a handover period at the beginning of the placement- which really sets your mind into prospective.
A good amount.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
Very appealing. I am considering applying for their graduate scheme.
The Culture
Yes, we all get along very well.
I commute by train. This itself is costly, however affordable.
Not great, however Reading is close by.
Nope. However I joined the gym.
