The Role
I had a great time working here and i have developed my IT knowledge a great deal
It is a very friendly environment to work in.
My supervisors were around in the office if i needed help, however we were allowed to work independently unless we needed help with anything
We always had enough work to do, you will never be bored.
I think we are given a lot of responsibility compared to what others have told me about their responsibilities from their placements
I feel everything I have learned during my time at Lubrizol has been beneficial so some aspect of my life, work and well as personal.
The Company
Everyone in the office gets along and is very supportive of each other
I knew exactly what was expected of my and received regular updates from my supervisor if this changed.
Working for this company had improved my confidence dramatically and I feel I have developed more as a person.

The Culture
The company employed 11 student whilst I was there, 4 of us lived together and we all got together for regular social events out side of work.
Derby has a lot of cheap student housing near to the centre. We stayed in a house a 5 minute walk from the town centre and the main bars and shopping centres.
Derby has a very good night life, there is something to do every night of the week
There is plenty of places to go and see in derby out side of work
