The Role
Enjoyable but at times repetetive tasks
Very friendly environement
Advise and support from a few people
Often very busy, however occasionally I was out of work during project transitions
I was surprised to have been given a lot of responsibility - but loved it!!
It has defenitely given me a feel for the subject and hopefully this reflect in my final year results.
The Company
Very friendly environment -
Senior engineers always strived to provide work for me
They tried to make it a valuable experience but also ensured that I will contribute to project work.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
I work as a sponsored student so should be fast-tracked through the graduate interviews.
The Culture
I wasnt that involved with fellow placement students as I was living at home during my placement
Liviing at home
Didnt go out - so dont really know
Many sport events - felt at times like a student union.
