The Role
I enjoyed the work and the team I worked in
I did feel valued by my colleagues
Finding time to meet with my supervisor was often difficult but support was there when I needed it
It varied a lot but there was always more I could do to keep me busy
Mainly with skills like time management/organisation etc
The Company
Often very quiet in the office as many people work remote
There was a large range of training courses available online
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
I would happily return in future
The Culture
Only had a couple of social events but they were good fun
Lived outside of Reading so was fairly cheap
Had some good nights out when working from the London office
There is an intranet site for sports and social activities but finding times is never that easy
