The Role
The Company
Everyone was very friendly and they treated you as if you were part of the team.
It was very well organised and I always had work to get on with.
I was paid a great salary and they obviously tried to teach me skills that I could use later on.
Subsidised Canteen
In my last week, I had my final partner interview and, that along with comments from the staff I had worked with, meant that I was offered a full-time job for when I finished my degree.
The Culture
Yes, there were 3 of us and we were invited to social events almost every week of the placement.
Aberdeen is quite expensive anyway, but they paid for lunch which helped with food costs and you can find cheap rents if you look online.
As I was at university in the same city, I already knew the nightlife was great. My work colleagues were keen to go out with the summer placement students.
Yes, we went to the circus and team night-outs.
