The Role
I enjoyed it a lot.
I was treated like a Full Time colleague
Was given comprehensive support by supervisor
There was always work to do even if things slowed down sometimes
given plenty of responsibility, building as I gained experience.
Technical skills are fairly specialised by the training was given and there was generally a strong emphasis on development.
The Company
A lot of younger colleagues so there atmosphere was social and fun.
Could have had a more organised induction.
Strong emphasis on development and training, had to take initiative myself though but it is easy to find training and development opportunities.
If you impress you can get fast tracked into the Grad Scheme interview process.
The Culture
There was.
Expensive but standard for Central London
massive selection of Bars, Clubs and restaurants nearby
Not that many opportunities outside of work
