The Role
Was excellent, made to feel a part of the team and everyone was happy to talk through things with me
Made me a part of the team and we're happy to give me responsibility
Mid placement evaluation with manager and if I needed anything they were happy to help
Anytime I had completed work they tried to have something else lined up for me and if finished a job early other teams were happy to.give me work
Obviously as a student it would be silly to give me too much responsibility but they were happy for me to get on with work on my own and ask any questions
Felt I got a real well rounded experience within different teams and learnt many useful skills which will help in future
The Company
