The Role
Very good fun, i was tasked with an interesting project and met good people only problem is really the location.
My Project had little to do with the rest of my department but my colleagues in other offices valued me
I was given a plan to begin with and my boss helped me almost daily
Some days i was working hard to achieve targets but others i was waiting to hear back from other people
My assignment was to build part of a bigger project but had i not done it my boss would have taken over
The Company
Everyone was very friendly but as the majority of workers were over 40 so weren't the same ages
Started off well organised but lost structure as it went on
Subsidised/Company Gym
The Culture
Placements students all lived in the same block and got to know each other
£80 a week with free internet
Typical student town, it depends on whos there more than the club
Lots of activities to get involved in thanks to the AGA and rolls Royce leisure centre
