The Role
It has been an invaluable experience as I have learnt a lot and applied University knowledge.
I felt like part of the team straight away. I was taken on welcome lunches to introduce me to the rest of the team.
You're given a mentor during your time on placement.
I never clock watched whilst at ERAC, there is always something to do.
You are involved in everything and treated exactly like all the permanent staff.
I have grown in confidence as a person due to the amount I was pushed by the Financial Controller.
The Company
Never quiet, always chatter among colleagues.
First year they had finance interns but process worked really well. We had training files to work through.
Trained on every task by current employees who had experience doing them.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Will definitely consider it in the future.
The Culture
There are department nights outs and then an annual awards evening for the whole group.
Lived at home so was very cheap.
Vibrant night life with the office being 20 minutes away from the City Centre.
Lots of charity work to get involved in as the company promotes diversity.
