The Role
A great experience and a great year.
Always there when I needed them, and always willing to help. The same goes for the HR advisors, they were always really supportive.
I had a good balance throughout the year.
I was given a large degree of freedom and responsibility during my projects to run them in the way I saw fit.
The training I received has been of significant benefit to me, and has helped me to develop over the year.
The Company
There is a very friendly atmosphere in the office and everybody is cheerful.
There was never any trouble due to poor organisation at any point during the year.
If I needed or requested to go on a course, the company did it's best to get me onto that course.

Subsidised/Company Gym
Staff Sales/Staff Shop

The Culture
All of the placement students got on very well, and became close over the year.
