The Role
I found it very enjoyable, there were a lot of interns and a relaxed but hard working culture which was good
Part of a good team, did meaningful work that actually seemed useful
Had weekly meetings with manager and regularly saw my supervisor, could come to them with any issues
Depended on the time of the month, usually had enough to do although only sometimes very busy
Given responsibility of regular reports to do and sending work directly to other employees, didn't need to consult manager
Very useful learning technical skills e.g. Excel as well as soft skills e.g. presentation which will be useful in future careers as well as e.g. group projects
The Company
Quite relaxed, able to talk to many people around us during work to ask for help or just chat
Trained as part of the team from the start, trained in different things to other placement students in the same company though
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Enjoyed the actual company, workload and employees
The Culture
Yes, lots of placement students
