The Role
I am really enjoying my placement so far, i have had a varied workload and have learnt a lot about a big business such as Telefónica.
From the first day everyone was warm and welcoming treating me as an equal rather than a temporary employee.
Line manager and task manager were very supportive and gave me a great insight into the wider business.
This varied but on average I felt like I had a steady workload!
I was given what i felt was enough responisbility too feel valued but not too much as to overpower me.
Developed skills that gave me a great first insight into my future working life.
The Company
I am based in the Leeds office which is really nice and everyone is friendly.
So far it has been well organised with me knowing on my first day what i would be doing for the first four months. I also know the provisional plan for the rest of my placement.
As I am only part way through my placement i am not sure about the training going forward but so far the HR/Talentum team have been very supportive in offering training.
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel

Working from home
I am definitely going to be applying for the graduate scheme next year!
The Culture
I am based in the Leeds office which has a smaller community compared to the community in Slough (Head Office) but we get on well and socialise outside of work.
I currently pay £550 a month but i am in a studio apartment on my own in the centre of leeds so this was expected.
Leeds is a great night out!
Yes there was a lot of oppurtunities to help support the company in various different ways.
