The Role
Great experience.
My team were fantastic. I really felt welcomed from day one. I was never left concerned about what to do and help was always at hand if I needed it.
Management were great. Good people. They really seemed to care about my development.
I wasn't too busy on a daily basis at first, but as the weeks went by I was given much more work to do and in the end I was extremely busy.
A fair bit.
This is what I'm most glad about. I've learned so many skills that I'll keep with me for all situations in the years to come. Most notable of these is Microsoft Excel skills.
The Company
Excellent atmosphere. I couldn't fault it, this was mostly due to the great people I was working with.
Perfect. Very well organised and extremely well executed.
It was a lot. There was a good programme in place to meet with Director's and managing director's of the firm.
