The Role
I really enjoyed my job, everyday was a challenge! Was given alot of responsibililes. I got on well with the team and managers which was great. I always had interesting jobs to do and there was never a dull moment.
I felt as part of the team, every member of the team is friendly and supportive in every way. They did not look at me as a helpless student, I was a real team member and had actrual responsibilities in the team
Management has been really supportive. I was given help when needed. Felt comfortable approaching my manager and asking for help whenever needed.
Have been given many tasks and responsibilities, which keep me busy every day! always got something to do. This was great for my own development and experiance. I believe i got a lot out of this internship because of this.
I have been given many responsibilities during my placement. Have been responsible for sending out reports. I was trusted as my managers could see i delivered quality work
Have managed to learn alot of Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel skills, can use these whilst doing my assignment for final year. This includes v-lookup, h-lookup and pivot tables.
The Company
Working atmosphere - everyone is always busy carrying out their own tasks and responsibilities - dealing with adhoc requests, sending out reports, running queries and so on!
The set up was fairly good and HR were easy to deal with. I always knew where i was going
was given little training. Attended a course. Mostly it was on the job training.
Good opportunity for students from Business who are looking for placement - Jobs interesting and good pay - good opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people - staff are always helpful and willing to help at any time!
The Culture
Yes there was good social scene here. Each member of the team was friendly.
Not much! But to keep the cost down i suggest going into a house or flat share.
Never went out to clubs!
Going out for dinner, birthdays, staff leaving, staff awards!
