The Role
A very enjoyable placement and a great place to work.
The people really make the company. Everyone is extremely welcoming and there is always someone at hand to help.
Support is always there if you need any.
Once well into the placement, there is always plenty of work to get on with.
I was given enough responsibility to enable me to work on certain aspects of the role independently.
The skills that I have developed during this placement will no doubt help me throughout my career.
The Company
Always a happy environment to work in.
Very well done - lots of different areas to go into in order to view the company from alternative perspectives.
There were always opportunities open to us to take.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Company Car
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Very good, the graduate scheme looks very interesting.
The Culture
Everyone was always very welcoming.
Being from the Midlands, living near the office was a bit pricey for myself, but absolutely understand why (due to closeness to London). Reasonable prices when you go to the right places.
A few clubs in the area and a bigger nightlife a cheap taxi fare away.
The sports and social club offered loads of different events to get involved in.
