The Role
It was great experience
They're all amazing - they were such help and support all the time
I was always looked after - regular one-to-one meetings helped to be on top of everything
It varied depending on the days. In the beginning it was a lot to grasp, but once the time passed, it became variable, depending on the tasks
I have got one of the most responsible roles as a placement, it was unexpected but great!
Definitely learnt how to act in business life, what it requires and I will for sure use the skills at university and overall
The Company
Never boring
It could have been better
Definitely more than expected.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
International Travel
Financial Bonus
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
Depending on the upcoming vacancies in my department
The Culture
OK, you can do as much as you wish
Cost of living was low, socialising was not great, unless going to Reading/Windsor/London
Not much but you can find bars and cocktail places
If you really try to find them.
