The Role
I really enjoyed my work placement.
I felt extremely valued by my colleagues, you were treated less like a placement student and more like a member of the team.
There wasn't a placement student in my role before I started making it slightly harder to get settled into the role. However, all of my team members were happy to answer any of the questions that I had.
I was kept busy on a daily basis.
I was given a lot more responsibility than I had expected before starting my placement year.
The skills I have developed will provide a good foundation to work on for my degree and beyond.
The Company
The atmosphere was pleasant and Cognito iQ's employees were friendly and welcoming.
The company has had many placement students in the past so the year was very well organised.
At the start of my placement I was given plenty of time to become accustomed with the technological aspects of my role.
Financial Bonus
Future employment prospects are good.
The Culture
The other placement students were very nice.
