The Role
Enjoyed working with my team
They didn't give me much support or guidance at the beginning
Majority of the time the balance was good however sometimes there was limited work for me
I believe the skills I've learnt will provide a good platform for future work experiences
The Company
It was organised well, only problem with getting access to my log-in details early on
I was given a few mandatory training/development courses to complete
I would love the chance to work for them again
The Culture
Yes, we interacted well, drinks were arranged every week
Good amount of socialising but it was expensive. Housing, food and drinks over 9 weeks cuts into a lot of your earnings.
Didn't really go out much but from past experiences it was good
I wasn't offered any however I knew of a few such as football and cricket teams.
