The Role
I really enjoyed my placement at JLR as it was both rewarding and fun.
My colleagues gave me great feedback which made me feel very valued.
I had an excellent supervisor who gave me lots of guidance on my studies at university and the progression of my career.
After the first settling in period I was busy everyday.
I was given just the right amount of responsibility on my placement, I felt valued without being put under too high stress situations.
My placement has given my invaluable experience and excellent transferable skills for both University and further career.
The Company
My office was a very enjoyable place to be, everyone was very polite and nice.
Everything was well organised with a good joining experience.
I was sent me on training and workshops which I felt were an investment in me.

The Culture
