The Role
It was a good placement, however work was reduced towards the end due to global financial crisis
Colleagues were very welcoming
Helped whenever problems occured
Bored at some points
Reasonably responisible but not too detailed
Helped with time management and priority management
The Company
Very social
Work was planned at beginning, but work dried up towards the end
Invested extensively towards the start, lack of training towards the end due to lack of financial backing
The Culture
I was the only placement student on my floor
Lived at home so was able to live cheaply, otherwise would have been expensive
Croydon is relatively lively
Not many
