The Role
I learnt alot of new skills and everyone in the company made me feel extremely welcome and part of the group.
The placement was very professional and everyone valued each other's work.
My supervisor was fantastic and taught me all my basic skills. She was a practical teacher who led by example.
I had enough to do without being exhausted. Some days were busier than others.
I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility. I was in charge of several assays.
I learnt alot of laboratory skills which were a huge help during my final year dissertation project at university.
The Company
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Highly likely, We have been advised to re-apply upon graduation.
The Culture
There were several groups and activities amongst the students and everyone was very friendly.
It was quite expensive as the area we lived in was close to London and priced everything accordingly.
The nightlife was limited but present. There was one nightclub in the whole town!
There were several extracurricular work opportunities such as sports games and socialising.
