The Role
I loved it!
The team were brilliant, and I felt like my work was really appreciated.
My management were great, and really supported me throughout my time.
I was really busy, all the time, which suited me downt to the ground.
Loads, my work was being used directly, which was amazing.
I am now an Excel wizard.
The Company
The atmosphere was great!
Everything was well organised, except my buddy was based in a different office, but everyone acted as a surrogate buddy anyway!
Everything was explained thoroughly and I learned a lot.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Hoping I got a job...!
The Culture
Really good social scene.
Edinburgh is quite expensive, but it's not too bad.
Edinburgh is alright. I'm a student here so it can be a little repetitive.
A few yeah, mostly social.
