The Role
Brilliant company to work for very employee orientated, flexi time and many benefits.
Took me in as an undergraduate, and hopefully sealed me a graduate position for when I finish my degree.
My direct boss did everything possible to help me, even using his own time to ensure I understood the tasks at hand.
Always had some work to do, if not project work external customers work.
Set a task at the start then was left to do it, if help was ever needed I was instantly assisted, until I was happy to continue independantly.
Allowed me to further my knowledge in electronics, and also testing, which directly related to my degree which is Robotics
The Company
Everybody was very friendly, and always open for a laugh!
Very well prepared from start to finish.
Any training that was given to the department I also attended.

Have sealed a place under the graduate scheme starting 2011.
The Culture
Got along with everyone, bonded very well, socialised inside and outside of MBDA, great opportunity to make new friends.
Live in Bristol as part of my degree, some areas can be expensive so can be cheap.
Love Bristol nightlife, always very good. Have some brilliant nightclub for all varieties of music.
Yes from five a side football to many other activities.
