The Role
the wide range of projects available to me was very good.
I was treated as a regular full time employee from the start which made fitting in very easy.
Lots of support/guidance was provided when needed. If I had any queries, I could just drop into their office.
overall I was kept very busy, but the work wasn't boring.
I was given responsibility with my own projects, and helped out on others
The understanding of various power supply topologies has helped me a lot in other areas of my course.
The Company
It was a very relaxing atmosphere.
The work was well organised with a clear plan put in place from the start.
I think they invested in me a lot with a number of training courses.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
I will definitely apply to the company first once I graduate.
The Culture
The social scene was good amongst the other colleagues as we were all similar ages
Cost of living was very high as I was based in Norway.
Nightlife in Asker wasn't great, but if you travelled into Oslo it was good.
Plenty of activities to do outside of work.
