  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It varied. Some days were so busy and I did a lot of overtime (you're not made to, sometimes it helps) but some months were very quiet. I preferred it when it was busy

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You have to prove yourself first but yes there are opportunities to take on more responsible roles and at the end of placement it is your job to train the next batch of students

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Because many people are or have been students, most people have moved to Windsor for the job so there is loads of social stuff all the time as well as the company-organised stuff

    5/5
