The Role
I was able to extend my placement by 4 weeks which was excellent.
Very welcoming and approachable. Went out of their way to help me and provide support.
Help on the project I was working with. Support in arranging meetings with senior managers.
Little too little work to do. But first time they had had an intern and weren't aware of how long things would take me.
Average.
Will not help directly with my degree but certainly will with later life.
The Company
Positive atmosphere, fun and friendly but professional.
Not really very impressed with HR. Severe lack of disorganisation and lack of communication with contract since finishing my placement.
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Working from home
Excellent
The Culture
Socials and meals out organised
Lived at home so only had commuting costs.
Did not go out in Bristol, only Bath.
Many events organised.
