The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed the year and have created opportunities for myself since finishing.
Worked closely with other placement students and my direct manager, who was supportive throughout
Daily basis
There were peaks of high work loads and some days where there was not much to do
Most of the time we were given real responsibility where we dealt with any consequences too.
I have a lot more on my C.V now, experience that I have gained that could not be gained from academic studies
The Company
Everyone was friendly, nobody says no.
Our dedicated personal development managers were supportive throughout, I knew the plan for the whole year
Given much training on software, also many online training courses
Flexi Time
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
I have already re-applied
The Culture
Made many friends!
my rent was quite expensive, going out was also quite pricey
We went into london most of the time
exercise opportunities were great, sports clubs etc
