    The Role

    • I thoroughly enjoyed working for E4S. Travelling wasn't a problem and generally the working enviroment was friendly and cosey.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • All ideas and skills taken from previous jobs were taken onboard and appreciated a lot. Definitely made a great impact on the company.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Anytime I had a question or sought help/advice/guidance - they always had my best interest at heart. They would drop everything they were doing to help me which I appreciated a lot.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I always had enough work to get on with. I would always be given big projects to work on which would take up most of my time which was good as i'd never be stuuck for work. There was also a good mixture and balance of varied tasks so I would never be bored.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a fair bit of responsibility - we always communicated everything to each other to ensure that business objectives and deadlines were met. Where big projects were given to me some areas required to be done by my other colleagues thus it was always a team effort. But mostly I would be responsible over the projects assigned to me.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I cannot stress enough from the skills I have picked up from this job in addition to the other jobs I have had in similar industries (non paid experience) will most definitely help me in the remainder of my degree and for my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The general atmosphere was neutral really. Everyone got on with their work with occassional banter to give ourselves 5-10mins breaks. We also had a Nintendo Wii which we could play on for the same amount of time.
