Skills
Yes, since this is my first job in the corporate world I have improved my social skills leaps and bounds. Especially being in the North west I'm am surrounded by people who I wouldn't normally interact with. This had led to be becoming more well rounded and easier to talk to.
Responsibilities
For a long time no. First 5 months I hadn't been assigned a significant project. However once I had a project the level of responsibility went up. However, there were always more senior people checking over everything so I often felt like I was slowing everything down.
Support & Guidance
Meetings with manager was very infrequent and he was often away. I had to do all the leg work asking for work as work was not often given to me. There was support from early careers however and I had several meetings with them to express how I was feeling and what I wanted done about that
Culture
General company culture was good, most people were friendly and helpful. Company makes an effort to put on events for things like religious holidays and events like PRIDE. Office culture could be slightly toxic often hearing about colleagues talking behind other colleagues backs my self included. But I imagine this is experienced is almost every office.
Your Impressions
I definitely enjoyed certain aspects such as going on trips and to events. However the day to day work wasn't peaking my interest or making the most of my skill set. Furthermore, I don't believe the factory environment is the environment I want to be in.
Yes
To be in Gaydon and not at one of the manufacturing sites especially Halewood. I do think there are good opportunities her however just not in this region
