The Role
It was a good experience, the year in industry will help me for the future.
Small team and very easy to work with.
Always had support when needed it and asked, very good managers.
Was busy in periods, work fluctuates
Was given a planner role so was given good responsiblilty, as well as the monitoring and running of KPI's for the team.
Excel skills and other softwares, as well as communication skills.
The Company
Great atmosphere, full of good people.
Well structured, when I arrived I had my induction straight away and projects were already planned out.
No paid training, but job training from my colleagues was high and very productive.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Very appealing, looking forward to potential future prospects
The Culture
Yes there was a good social scene, regular socials were planned both in our department and cross departments.
Minimal as I was living at home, placement location was ideal for me.
Average
Socially opportunities were presented. However already living in the area my time was taken up elsewhere.
