The Role
Thought it was an enjoyable experience. Would recommend.
Everyone was helpful and I never felt I was stuck. Friendly people everywhere.
They helped me and provided support when I needed it. Felt free to ask manager any questions.
I was quite sometimes really busy and sometimes not that busy. Think that's just the way it was with my team.
Quite a lot of responsibility that I didn't expect. Was a nice surprise doing the job of real full time employees.
The skills I have picked up during this placement are second to none and I will definitely use them in my future career.
The Company
Great working atmosphere. People were friendly and approachable in the workplace which helped.
Had a lot of contact with the team responsible and I always knew what was going on and the events that were happening. I got feedback from them regularly.
They provide the necessary training and encourage you to do as well as you can. Great for personal development.
Company Parties/Events
I could definitely see myself working for them full time. It was a great experience.
The Culture
Other placement students were very friendly and outgoing and we found the time to socialise after work which was good.
Quite expensive I have to say. Budget wisely.
Pretty good nightlife as expected. Nice to let the hair down so to speak after a hard day's work.
A fair number of opportunities to network with a lot of people which was good. Other events were organized by the team.
