The Role
Very enjoyable, relevant to my interests.
Often felt like part of the team and not just a placement student.
All support was given when needed.
More regularly busy than not. It was slow to start but picked up and always have work to do.
I was responsible for full tests from start to finish.
Great for project planning for group projects at university.
The Company
Great environment, well focused but not too strict.
As well organised as graduates jobs.
Lots of training oppertunities.
Graduate jobs look good.
The Culture
Never got involved with this but it was present
Reasonable, not overly expensive
Nothing special, but enough to get by.
Community activities etc. to get involved with.
