The Role
There were ups and downs like any job, but found it challenging.
Felt that I was an integral part of the company and department.
Constant support if time was available, and regular check ups and meetings.
Some times were slower as expected, but there was always something I could get on with.
Responsible for alot of reporting which was needed daily otherwise people across Europe would struggle to do their work.
Was slightly different to my degree which was disappointing but i knew it would be, however i feel it has been very good experience.
The Company
Relaxed and enjoyable.
They are very experienced at placements.
Plenty of extra opportunities available to further myself.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Havent got offered a job, as they do not offer graduate positions. But have been told i would be welcomed back.
The Culture
Plenty of events and parties available.
Very cheap for my single box room.
Could have been better, but its what you make of it.
There if you look for it.
