The Role
I had a wonderful time learning new skills and putting the skills to use during my time here.
I felt they were really happy to have me as a part of the team!
They really care about you and how you're doing during your placement. I felt like they wanted me to succeed.
I was busy, but it was so much fun it never felt like work.
I was responsible for lots of tasks just as though I was a regular employee which I loved.
I've been able to use my experience to help me with my studies and to pass along what I've learned to other students in my courses.
The Company
It was great. Everyone was happy to be at work and it made the days so enjoyable.
It was organized very well. We all knew what was expected of us.
I felt appreciated and like the company wanted to me to gain as much knowledge as I could during my time here.

As long as I keep working hard in my studies, I feel I have a shot at employment with them in the future.
The Culture
Yes, we all became friends and spent time together outside of work.
It was reasonable to spend a couple nights per week on the town.
There was lots to do from going to movies to dining out.
Yes, we had social clubs and sports we could join if we chose to.
