The Role
Was a really good placement, experienced a variety of departments which I found really useful.
Very friendly office, was given real responsibility which I really enjoyed.
Management were very supportive, found the review meeting that I had at the end really useful.
Quite busy, which I enjoyed.
Was responsible for sections of several reports. Carried out client meetings (Was briefed on the situation prior to the meeting)
Found really useful and the nature of the work that I carried out on placement will be particularly relevant to my final year at University.
The Company
Quiet at times, but friendly atmosphere.
Organised and very well planned out.
Had quite a bit of training with lots of people explaining the nature of the work and what I needed to do to carry out various tasks.
Is a really nice atmosphere in the office and company to work for.
The Culture
Was the only placement student in the office. The other graduates and employees were sociable and got on well with.
Commuted from home.
Was extra opportunities to do career events in the evening and play sport with other graduates.
