The Role
Placement was very good, could of had more social occasions.
Good work almost always recognised.
Management very helpful and accomodating should you want to do something a bit "out of the box" or needed help with anything.
I was kept busy but wasnt often to busy, and was never bored or stuck with nothing to do.
As the placement progressed, I was able to contact clients without consulting managers, and take on more project management roles.
Very helpful for my degree in terms of knowledge and "joining up the dots" of university learning. Learnt a lot about working in a professional environment and working with a variety of people.
The Company
It was very good, everyone like to chat, but would always ensure all the work was done when it needed to be.
Pther than the lack of promised social activities, it was very well organised.
I am part qualified for ICAS and was given lot of additional training where necessary.
