The Role
I felt the pace of the job was too slow.
I was quite contained within my group of 4 people.
I received guidance when I asked for it.
I felt I had too much spare time.
I created a model on my own, that will be used in the future, so quite a bit of responsibility.
I will use the functions of Excel and R learned in this role.
The Company
It was often quiter than what I would like.
It was organised well, it was just at a slow pace.
We had an hour every few days one on one with the line manager.
Subsidised Canteen
I would consider working for LBG, but I would not do the exact same role again.
The Culture
The people on the scheme that I lived with were very social, we have not stopped moving since day one.
It was quite pricy considering we lived in London. However, the level of wages helped.
It was good, just not as good as Sheffield.
There is always something going on in London.
