The Role
It was a really interesting experience. Met lots of great people and learnt a lot.
The team I was working with was great, fun, professional and very helpful.
I felt completely confident to ask any questions if I was struggling. Management was extremely helpful.
Usually I was quit busy, had a variety of different tasks to do on a daily basis.
I was given a fair amount of responsibilities. Team trust you and put hopes in you.
I would say that skills I have learnt will help me later during my studies, when I will go to interviews or even than I will start working in a new place. The skills I have gained are extremely useful
The Company
We had serious work to do, but at the same time we had some wee break were we would chat or joke about. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing.
It was organised well enough with few struggles ( I had some issues with my laptop not working, but that was solved fast enough).
I think they invested as much time as they could, keeping in mind that they had their own responsibilities and targets to meet.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Will find out next week if I was accepted :)
The Culture

Yes, they had organised golf tournaments, charity events, social night out.
