The Role
It's a great place to work and learn.
Very friendly and helpful colleagues who will go out there way to help you.
My supervisor would also ensure I knew what I was doing before I was left with any task.
Sometimes it got rather busy. But it's not a scary thing. The days went alot faster which is generally good when you have plans to look forward to.
I was given loads of responsibility, from managing 200k worth of equipment in a demo fleet to designing front covers that represent Panasonic with minimal guidance
I can now confidently say I understand the business process and I feel that my knowledge can be applied to all other jobs I apply to.
The Company
Generally a good atmosphere, it is however a very important area of the business so its key to know when to keep your head down and work and when office shenanigans can ensue.
Very well done. From accommodation on wards it was honestly seamless.
I had the opportunity to attend many classes and with my responsibility I feel I was very well invested with my skills.

Not quite sure, the company is quite big and divided into different areas of the business so I guess 50/50.
The Culture
Hungover fridays....
Fairly good.
We commuted from nearby Reading. This is by far the best decision.
