The Role
It was an interesting job in an industry that i was really unaware of before starting. Met some great guys and have a great time at the Company itself.
Sociable working environment with plenty of banter to make every day atleast a little enjoyable
People were more than happy to help if you had a question regarding anything, which was important due to the field of work being different to what has been covered in education
There was always plenty to do, and some times i even had too much to handle
I was suprised with the amount of responsability given to me, although a huge
I learnt alot about a completely new industry which has given me unique skills for the future. Besides that i have also learned a lot beyond the university curriculum which i am sure will stick with me for the years to come
The Company
It was generally a great atmosphere, apart from when things broke.
It was organised however a few large projects and problems threw us off course a few times. But that is expected in such an environment.
I was able to take part in external qualifications and receive training in whatever area i needed.
