The Role
Overall enjoyable.
I felt valued within my team.
Weekly 1 to 1 but I was able to ask info/help more regularly as and when was needed.
At the beginning it was quite slow with training courses and setting up computer access, but once multiple projects began I was able to fill the time.
I headed up a project on my own and subsequently carried out training and ensured I was either finished or handed over anything outstanding to a colleague.
Presentation skills and confidence.
The Company
Quite quiet but people did chat.
All events were well organised.
Quite a lot but it is only 10 weeks so near the end not so much.
Company Parties/Events
I am awaiting to see if I have a graduate job!
The Culture
Yes there were over 100 of us so there was always someone similar to you and lots of socialising.
Better than London!
Loads of choice
Some - quizzes, football etc.
