The Role
Had a long commute which detracted from the placement. But overall enjoyable
Some days very busy, but not a bad thing as when you're busy you enjoy the days more
Great development in terms of communication. Lots of core excel, e-mai and business skills. very worthwhile
The Company
Large open plan office, so a different atmosphere to what I was used too, But everyone was very welcoming and a nice atmosphere
Well organised projects and work for much of the placement. Good do with more intern networking events or something of the like
Several sessions aiming to develop you via teleconference. Offered daily tasks with the pure aim of developing yourself.
