The Role
Fantastic experience which I would highly recommend
I felt very settled within the team, everyone was approachable and showed genuine interest in my experience
Support was always available when required and I had weekly catch up meetings with managers
I had 2 extremely busy weeks working on a client which I really enjoyed
I was allowed to get on with the work independently which involved contributing in client meetings
The things I have learnt are applicable to all business types
The Company
The office was very down to earth and sociable
I was booked with a client on 5 out of my 6 weeks, those 5 weeks were well organised and allowed me to see a wide variety of the work involved
A two day training was held upon starting
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Extremely
The Culture
Yes we went out for drinks and had a mid way social at Comedy Store
A lot of the socialising was paid for by the firm
Great choice of places to go
Golf, badminton, fantasy football leagues...the list continues
