Responsibilities
yes, I was given many responsibilities such as owning my own deliverable, communicating with the client on weekly progress updates, organising internal presentations.
Support & Guidance
Alot, the support from the business and its team members was great. Asking many questions helped me guide and understand what was going on. but also team members in project work also showed and explained to me ways of doing things. My objectives in project work were also met due to the project lead ensuring the work I was doing was helping me achieve it.
Culture
Very people orientated! many social events and team building lunches and working in the office days to build a rapport. Hard working, dedicated atmosphere with friendly, easy to talk to team members.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement as it gave me a real insight of what my job role would be like and the industry I would be working in. I would certainly love to return after graduating to progress my career in the business as there is many opportunities to do so. Promotions are given when targets have been met. Arcadis show alot of care and gratitude towards their team members.
Yes
Ask lots of questions if you do not understand what's going on, especially in project work. Also find out everything when you are joining and in the first week of induction. Always introduce yourself to team members at social events and get involved in internal initiatives too
