The Role
Found the work highly enjoyable for the most part
Most of my colleagues were highly appreciative of my work
Management and supervisors were extremely helpful and at the same time let me get on with work without mollycoddling
Generally very busy, though on days with downtime I was encouraged to get on with projects that took my personal interest
I was given as much responsibility as I could handle! A personal project that I started ending up as a major project which I was leading, reporting to the director.
Provided me with plenty of new skills and expertise that can be used further in industry
The Company
Of course there are those who aren't the liveliest, but most people are relaxed and enjoy their work
Although the placement wasn't heavily structured, there was always plenty of work and the opportunity to get involved in areas that I wanted to develop in
Was offered a job with the company
The Culture
Fairly inexpensive
