The Role
Everyone was really friendly and the work was challenging and rewarding.
Everyone was friendly and always willing to help you or show you where to get help.
Manager was very busy but made sure I was happy and OK with work load/responsibility.
Had one or 2 days where not much was going on but other than that busy not bored but not too stressed either.
I was responsible for all the bits I could be but some bits just need to be done by someone more experienced.
More confidence and useful in assessing situations daily differently.
The Company
Fun balanced with hard work when it needed to be done.
Only 2 days where I didn't have a lot too do but other than that I was always on a project.
Considering I was only there for 6 weeks the amount of training and personal development was amazing.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Got a job with PwC.
The Culture
Yes we went out a few times for drinks and meals and clubbing. It was great fun.
The cost of living and socialising is very very expensive, but to be honest that doesn't stop it happening most nights.
There is a good selection of places to have a drink after work.
Loads of sports teams and socials.
