The Role
Friendly people, a nice environment and interesting work. Not full marks as I don't think it's made me want to pursue it as a career.
Friendly from the start, giving me real tasks and talking on a level to me.
Happy to help whenever asked
Usually a nice workload, sometimes lacking an immediate task to move onto once current task is complete.
Felt like I was given real work and took an active part in meetings.
New people, environment and commuting experience. Also an insight into a huge field I'd never had experience working in before.
The Company
Tight team in a bright, open plan office. Rarely felt out of place or lacking for a friendly face.
From the meet-and-greet to the HR communications and set-up, for the most part very slick.
Training on new software, I feel I've built some skills and found new skills.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Broad organisation with lots of opportunities.
The Culture
Invites from departmental through personal levels, if I'd lived closer I could have taken more advantage.
Inner city.
Inner city.
Busy location, I had little time to spare.
