The Role
Not the most glamarous industry, but I have learnt valuable skills and did enjoy myself.
I was made welcome straight away.
There was an extensive training program and was never worried to ask a question.
It all depended on the day. Started off a bit slow but picked up after a while.
I was treated like a normal employee so as much responsibility as there could be.
It wasn't as linked to my degree as it could have been, but I have still learnt valuable skills that I can use again.
The Company
It was quite a small office, but everybody was friendly and got on well.
There was a training program which I followed from day 1 which helped me through the whole experience.
Linking to training once again, there was a lot of time devoted in to my training and making sure I was always getting on okay.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Would have to decide nearer to graduation.
The Culture
Only placement student in the office, but still got on well with other colleagues.
Lived at home whilst working so didn't have a major impact. Area can be expensive though.
Not a massive fan of the direct area, but some good places nearby.
Not really
