The Role
Really good placement. Well organised and structured with a clear vision as to what was required from me.
Really valued by colleagues who were always willing to help and answer any questions that i had.
Manager was always easily acessible and more than happy to help with any queries and issues that arose during my work.
Work was well balanced and offered a variety throughout the working week that was always interesting and brought up something new.
Given responsibility for running project acorss the duration of internship and consistently checked in with manager to keep updated on progress.
Built upon skills already developed at Uni and learned new skills in other areas not previously learnt at uni.
The Company
Very good atmosphere. Never felt that people were unwilling to help and everyone was more than happy to support us and point is in right direction when required.
Very well organised. Clear structure as to what was required and very little that i felt unsure about before starting and throughout my time.
We were allowed to pick up training and events on different things that would be of benefit to us in our roles provided our manager was happy with it.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
Really good future employment aspects that are very appealing for Graduates.
The Culture
Fairly good social scene that offered different things that suited the wider audience rather than a seleect few.
Really good value if you are willing to hunt around and not just accept the first flat or a poor condition one that you see.
Wide variety of Bars and Restaurants that catered for all tastes and offered variety for eating out or socialising.
Lots of various opportunities to get involved in events run within the office ranging from the annual office summer bbq to weekly 5-aside football.
