The Role
Really enjoyable place to work with lots to keep you busy.
Felt and was treated like a regular member of the team, didn't feel like a student on a placement.
Lots of reviews, meetings and appraisals so I knew exactly what was going on.
Some months were busier than others due to seasonality of holidays.
Ran some mini-projects with other placement students which was great fun.
My communication skills have improved greatly, for presentations and any work in the future I feel at a great advantage.
The Company
Great banter in the office, lots of young people and a fun place to be.
The training was very good and also the regular meetings meant I was up to speed on what was going on.
Always had people to turn to and felt the traning was very good.

The Culture
Although there weren't many of us we went out a lot with the other staff who were great fun.
London isn't cheap but managed to a few cheap bars and sandwich shops (after much searching!)
London is a great place for any night out.
Golf, Sports and Social activities. Regular trips out to hotels and golf courses which were great fun.
