The Role
Great atmosphere and fun people to work with
Worked well together and often went out for drinks after work! :o)
Support was very good even though it was only a small company
The work load was just about right and monitored regularly to make sure it wasn't too much and that I always had something to do
Over the year my responsibilities grew and grew and towards the end of the placement I was solely responsible for some projects!
The documentation skills and some of the programming skills I picked up were very useful for my final year and I think even more so beyond that as I learnt several things I wouldnt have done at uni about working in an office environment
The Company
Excellent. Even though we worked hard we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves and several of us often went out to lunch together and went out after work
I think it was very good overall and improved even more later on for following years students
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Excellent. I was offered a part time job working for the company around my uni work during my final year and a full time job afterwards.
