The Role
Every aspect of the placement was enjoyable, from the welcome to the actual work/topics covered.
Every one was extremely welcoming, and had no problem answering any questions.
The team in charge were so knowledgeable that it couldn't help but rub off on us, and any queries were dealt with immediately.
The days were jam packed with activity, however the activities in the evening were a great way to socialise and network.
It was all about us, with limited in put from the supervisors, but in a good way.
I learnt so much about myself, and have already begun implementing those skills in daily life.
The Company
Every facilitator and partner was friendly and good-natured, and made sure we were enjoying ourselves.
The structure was laid out clearly from day one, and we stuck to it.
The firm gave us the best people to learn from, as well as a substantial financial investment, and really focused on individual learning.

I would definitely apply for a graduate job here, and plan on doing so.
The Culture
We socialised over meals and in the evenings, and all made an effort to keep in touch.
It was provided by the firm, so for us, cheap, for them, probably not!
We were based at a hotel but the entertainment laid on was superb.
There seemed to be no difference between outside and inside of work, it blended.
