The Role
We are a close knit team. I am sad to leave.
Sometimes a little too busy.
There were projects in which I was able to run workstreams and delegate tasks to people higher up. Not often you get that opportunity as a placement student.
I am going back to my final year knowing far more than I ever imagined. I feel so much more confident in my work now.
The Company
We have a lot of banter and joking around but can also be serious when it comes down to work. The office was fun and we'd have lots of socializing in evenings. Krispy Kreme doughnut & coffee mornings was yummy too.
We were given the same opportunities to take exams and training like all other associates. They invest fully as they hope to offer you a job upon return from University.

I've been offered an experienced hire offer. Our role doesn't involve a graduate scheme but instead we come in as an experienced hire with a great salary - very happy!
The Culture
Everyone is in the same boat, multiple nights out and days out. There is always someone to hang out with.
London is expensive - don't get me wrong. But you can get through it. I have never been at the point I couldn't go for a drink.
