The Role
Very much, it was everything I could have asked for.
The team were super friendly and helpful and I felt like part of the team from day 1.
Every team member were willing to help me with any questions or difficulties I had.
You can't predict how much work you're going to receive. Some days it's quiet and others it's hectic.
I was allowed into important client meetings and expected to complete important documents with a strict deadline.
I believe that I have benefited in many ways and that I will see an improvement in my studies with regards to organisation, understanding work in a different ways and being able to commute better with class mates and teachers.
The Company
Very relaxed and friendly.
Pretty well organised.
I wish induction was a bit longer and things were explained in a bit more detail before starting.
I have a final interview in place within the next few weeks.
The Culture
Yes we went out all the time.
Leeds is not a very expensive city.
