The Role
Overall the placement was a great learning experience which had its ups and downs
My colleagues integrated me into the company very well and always made me valued.
The help and assistance I had throughout the year was very good.
I was busy most of the time as I had a lot of roles and responsibilities but this can vary from day to day
I was given a lot of roles and responsibilities throughout the year.
I will use a lot of the skills in my studies a huge amount as I have grown as a person.
The Company
The office was often very busy and energetic throughout the year.
At first it was a struggle for me but as the year went on things got better.
The company did not invest too much on this aspect I feel.
Depends on your personal preference but they seem to be good.
The Culture
yes, all the placement student got on very well and this made the experience much better.
I am not too sure as I lived at home but seemed ok
The city was only 20 minutes away so it wasn't too bad
yes most of the student lived close so they always had the chance to meet up.
