The Role
Really enjoyed the company and organisation of the placement, but not the job for me.
Very welcoming and helpful at all times.
Excellent "Counselling Manager" system, allowing you to raise any problems etc
Generally a good level of work, longer hours through busy season but this was to be expected.
I was given a high level of responsibility from day one, and really felt like my work was of value.
Gave me a very strong work ethic to take into my final year
The Company
Office was friendly and entertaining, however a good working environment
Excellent organisation at all times.
I was sent to Florida at the end of my placement for a conference on leadership skills.
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Have accepted a job within a different division at the company.
The Culture
Yes, there were several planned events and other impromptu social events.
Was in London, so fairly expensive, however the salary offered was more than sufficient.
As above, London, so excellent.
Lots of sport, clubs etc.
