The Role
Work experience, given responsibilities and atmosphere around the office.
I wasn't treated like an intern more like a team player and a employee.
Whenever I ask for anything they were more than helpful.
I have plenty of the objectives to complete but as soon as I complete them I have more time to relax.
I was put in charge of some software that I implemented and managed for the time I am here which is pretty responsible.
I got to know a lot of stuff about enterprise networking.
The Company
Great no pressure and open door policy.
Everything was organised correctly.
We have a great training scheme here we have a broad databases of courses and training which allows us to pick a course and do it anytime!

I will definitely try to keep my job during my last year of university and hope to get a grad job here as well.
The Culture
We stay together. Social life is great!
I wouldn't know as I don't care for how much it cost, it's important to have a good time.
Bristol is the place to be for parties we got two universities here plenty of students so wherever you look there will be a party.
Bristol is one of the cities which doesn't sleep the opportunities are here if you are willing to make that extra effort to find them and take advantage.
