The Role
It was really welcoming and a great work environment to promote learning. They treat you like a full time employee and give you a lot of responsibility.
I felt like any other member of the team with the same responsibilities and everyone was welcoming.
I was given lots of support with weekly updates on performance.
They make sure you are always occupied and busy.
They treat you like a full time employee with the same responsibilities
It gave me many professional skills that I can take forward and use at university.
The Company
It was lots of fun and everyone was very welcoming and positive.
They had structure for us and never felt lost.
They really invest time in developing and training you in order to prepare you after for when you come back.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
I hopefully wish to go back there when I graduate.
The Culture
It was a very energetic atmosphere and people socialising as much as possible.
I think it is expensive but I lived at home and reading is the closest place to go out
Reading is the only place near which isn’t far.
I didn’t see many but friends did get involved
