The Role
I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting and engrossing the work was and although I didn't leap out of the bed in the morning it was fulfilling and challenging work.
Most of the time I was busy but occassionally there were times when there was very little work for me to do, generally they find something for me to do in the end.
I felt I was given proper work to do but I had the safety net of knowing that my managers were reviewing it.
Not especialy relevant to my degree. I imagine very useful if I want to stay on at the company though.
The Company
A few issues during application due to illness however they were resolved and I managed to gain a place.
They invest a lot of time from busy schedules to find work for us to do.
Company Parties/Events
I am having an interview this week and have had good feedback so far.
The Culture
Regular social events and a canteen ensred the social scene was manintained.
Lived at home.
Haven't sampled whilst at the firm but there are many bars and clubs within a couple of minutes walk.
