The Role
Working at Clock surpassed my expectations of a work placement, I had a really great time.
Everyone is very friendly and open, you feel part of the team.
As long as you communicate well, support is always available when needed.
At times we were very busy, projects with tight deadlines had to be met.
You work on real projects and feel that you could create a significant impact through your work.
I felt that I had learnt and developed a lot of skills during my placement at Clock in comparison to my time at University.
The Company
It was pretty relaxed and easy to talk to one another.
I felt it was well organised, I was never confused with process and any questions I had were answered promptly.
I spent time with other developers reviewing my work, we attended conferences and held group discussions.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
I have been offered a job to return after I had completed my degree.
The Culture
There were quite a few social activities being organised all the time.
I commuted in to the office though there were a few shops and pubs nearby which were decently priced.
There were many events and opportunities to go out.
