The Role
I really enjoyed my placement year - excellent team and related to my university course.
I felt extremely valued.
Very supported - throughout the year I was sat next to my supervisor who assisted me when required.
I was usually very busy on a daily basis - starting slower (as expected) and getting increasingly busy as the year went on.
A lot more than expected - by the middle of my placement year I was running projects.
All skills and training were relevant to my degree.
The Company
Excellent atmosphere within my office - very good chemistry with my team.
From start to finish this was very organised - I was hired months before my placement started, training was organised, etc.
I was not enrolled in any specific training courses, but I received on the on the job training.
Sports and Social Club

Working from home
I'd love to work at Nissan after University if possible.
The Culture
Very good - although I could not attend them all.
I lived at home (30 miles away) while at Nissan.
