Extremely enjoyable.
Cared for by both manager and wider team.
Consistent guidance, regular meetings and planned development & goals.
Good balance; option to choose how much/little to take on.
Again, as much as they feel you are comfortable with.
Very useful for future jobs, not necessarily degree studies.

Good integration, smooth transition and well organised.
Willing to fund courses etc to further your development, very committed to employee satisfaction.
