The Role
- One of the best expreineces - would reccommend to anyone
- Good team to work with, never made to feel like a placement just one of the team
There was a lot of support, development plans and guidance where i needed it.
Always had things to do!
Much more resposibility than I was expecting, in charge of things that wouldn't have got done if i wasn;t there!
- Greater knowdge of teh usiness sector and its practial day to day roles - skills in excel, computer systems etc. - personal skills like communication and confidence etc.
The Company
- Fun office to work in - sociable but worked hard!
Good scheme for development, not 100% oganised when we arrived though.
Plenty of development opportunities and chances to experience a wide variety of things.

Room for development but not in the area I would want.
The Culture
Plenty of grads split over many functions so there was a nice atmosphere and plenty of people around
near London so quite expensive, but not as bas as if it was in london
Pubs and Clubs.
Sports teams etc that you can get involved in, and enreally a nice area to live in.
