The Role
I really enjoyed the work placement. It was a good balance between learning new things and hands on practical experience.
I had the privilege of working with a great team. They were always willing to help on any matter, friendly in the office and regularly organised social sessions.
Fantastic support, great help throughout the whole placement.
At times there were periods of not enough work to do, but on the whole a good balance was achieved.
A good level of responsibility was given to me, a level at which provides the perfect learning environment.
All the new skills learnt throughout the placement I will put to good use during the rest of my career.
The Company
Good working atmosphere during working hours.
Placement provided a great project which was used as part of my MSc degree
Help and guidance was given at all times.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
I have been offered a contracting role within the team.
The Culture
Regular social events were organised.
Slightly better than the average big city.
Varied but was providing a good scene for all kinds of people.
Great opportunities, both social and sporting.
