    5/5

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office was a friendly but professional environment. The desks are arranged in a very communal way which encouraged talking with colleagues about your current work. Equally when the pressure was on everyone respected that and wouldn't cause any undue distractions.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Largely the placement was well put together. As each role essentially takes a position as if we were full time employees. I felt this was significantly better than a placement scheme as it meant we saw more of the day to day that I feel we may have otherwise.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • When we started the placement we had a month of training to bring us up to speed with the product and then each month we had a training session based on key procedures or new technologies we are using.
