The Role
Absolutely loved it. From a placement year I could not have asked for more. Been given real responsibility, made part of the team, had my own projects and had fun. Had a real great experience.
Massively valued. Was helped to and left to run important pieces of deals on their behalf because they trusted me to do it.
Massive support and coaching received.
Very busy assisting with forecasting from an MU and EMEA perspective. Also helping to run and assist in deals
Ran my own accounts, helped FTEs run theirs and also helping managers forecast up to a global call.
I cant explain how much it has helped me, in terms of hard and soft skills. My IT, interpersonal, presentations, time management etc has massively improved.
The Company
Electric, especially at Quarter End
Very organised, room for a little bit of improvement but that is the same in any role at any company
Took time to coach, teach and mentor me. I've really grown as a team member and individual
