The Role
Had a really great time, super fun working environment and really interesting day to day work.
Really valued, had regular catch ups and learning sessions where all achievements were recognised and rewarded.
Lots of support and guidance throughout, weekly reviews and regular training. Everyone is incredibly nice and down to earth which makes a nice change to most corporate environments.
Very busy, time really flew by, there was never really a moment where I didn't have something to do.
Lots of responsibility from day 1, they almost give you too much responsibility in order to see how you react, which although daunting at the start, is really rewarding when you get into it!
The job itself isn't necessarily relevant to what I am studying, but in terms of development for future careers, incredibly useful and helpful.
The Company
Great, every friday there were free drinks, the office itself is super nice and every month there was a team event which was always great fun.
Very well organised, lots of check ups and development events to see what everyone was getting up to on a day to day basis.
Lots of training, full week at the start and then regularly training for the first few months followed by top up sessions.

The Culture
Yes very good, would regularly go to drinks on a weekly basis.
It's in the city, so very expensive, but not unlivable.
Very good.
Yes.
