The Role
I was given the opportunity to get involved in loads of different projects and felt like I was really contributing to the departments I was placed in.
Everyone was really friendly and made a real effort to make me feel like part of the team
I had regular reviews to discuss how I was getting on and felt that I could approach my managers with questions at any time
I generally had plenty to get on with. Some times were busier than others but I think I had a good balance overall.
I was given responsibility for organising a couple of events and had my own projects to manage
There were formal training sessions to help me develop teamworking, communication and presentation skills that will really benefit me in future
The Company
There was a 'pre-induction' event before the start of the placement, so all of the placement students could meet and get to know each other.
I received lots of on-the-job training to help me in my departments and there was a structured training programme especially for the placement students - 4 sessions throughout the year.

I got the impression that Peugeot Citroen really invests in its graduates and it's definitely a company I'd want to work for
The Culture
A social committee at work organised quite a few events including a quiz night, family fun day and trip down to London.
