The Role
I found my internship really relevant to the content of my University course.
Obviously working in a department where most of the people have 10+ years of industrial experience is bound to make you feel slighty less important!
Regular progress checks made it easy for me not to get neglected, and pushed me to fulfill my potential.
Dependent on the stage of the project I was working on.
Towards the end I contributed to live projects.
The knowledge and experience I have gained by being in the company of such skilled engineers on a daily basis has been invaluable.
The Company
Relaxed but efficient and pro-active.
Fairly simple, no major problems.
I attended various training courses, and every effort was made to ensure I got the most from my placement.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Car
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Healthcare from home
Hopefully I have done enough to be considered as a future prospect.
The Culture
The intern community was brilliant.
A lot cheaper to my home town or University town.
Not brilliant, but satisfactory.
Yes, there was always something going on :)
