The Role
The work I was set was chanelnging enough to keep me motivated, yet not so hard that it was not enjoyable. Everyday I had something new todo with lots of projects to become involved with.
I have made gret friends with all of my collegues and will be sad to leave.
My Manager was always there to guide me, offer me development pointers and ultimatly help me reach my pottentional
I was never truley bored but sometimes there were times where I had much less work than I wanted
At the beginin of my placement I had little repsonsibilty, but a few months in I was the main lead for a number of high profile pieces and the go to contact for many people
I have compounded the knowledge that i had made at uni into worthwhile information
The Company
The atomosphere of the office was fun, vibrant and motivating
The placement it self was set up well, but SRG the company who paid us are utterly useless.
I was given lots of training and gained the ITIL qualification

The Culture
