The transferable skills I have learnt have been invaluable & I have enjoyed the experience of the job role itself. However, working within engineering/manufacturing would not be number one choice for future career paths.

The Culture

Cost of living was difficult due to choosing to live alone & the area is fairly quiet for socialising. However, its what you make of it with the people you meet
3/5
Pretty poor, however if there are a number of you going out, there are plenty of surrounding towns & cities but at a cost of a taxi!
