The Role
Had an amazing time, the company were great as were the people I worked with. Really helped my with my final year.
Amazing had to move halfway through and settled into both teams.
Guidance and advice whenever it was needed, my boss did 1-1 sessions to help understand difficult concepts.
Always work to do and felt challenged and motivated throughout the year.
I was doing important work and often the boss would come in and was interested in progress, also regularly presented my work to other teams.
In my final year things I learnt have come up time and time again and I am very grateful to both bosses for the time they spent to teach me beyond what was required to do my job.
The Company
Always good chat about the football.
I felt treated like a full time employee was excellent.
Went to a lot of seminars which were for my own development in work time with their permission.

Subsidised/Company Gym

Fantastic Placement
The Culture
Very close group had a very good time going out with other students
Quite expensive as it was close to London.
Nightlife in Harlow wasn't the best but good for a laugh
Oppertunities were there however I didn't take advantage of them
