The Role
Absolutely amazing experience. I've learned more than my brain can take and met so many great people! One of the best experiences of my life!
I was part of an extremely nice team who were all very helpful, friendly and always smiling.
I was guided all the way through, with enough space given to do things myself.
always had something do but was never too stressed with the work load. It was perfect in my opinion.
Although the tasks I was given were not top priority in the project, I still had fair amount of responsibility throughout the placement.
The internship benefited both my academic studies and personal development. The placement was very relevant to my studies which I found very useful. I have also improved my personal skills that will be useful in any situation
The Company
Although everyone is always busy with work and working in a professional environment, we still manage to have a lot of fun.
everything was very well organised and I was able to start work from day 1.
This is not hugely relevant to my position, however I had all I needed during the placement.
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I definitely think this is where I want to work in the future and will definitely apply for the Graduate Scheme in the company.
The Culture
Always plenty of people to talk to or go out with. Great atmosphere.
About average I'd say. Typical prices of any other place I lived in.
Not too great of a choice but always something going on and people were always willing to go out.
I can't answer since I haven't actually looked for things to get involved in. There are however many gyms and leisure centres in the area and the company has activities to offer too
