The Role
Everyone was really friendly and I got to do a varied range of tasks
Colleagues were friendly and willing to help and also appreciated the fact I didn't have much technical knowledge.
Very supportive and understanding
Some days there wasnt much work to do and some days there was too much but overall the level was good.
I was given a good amount of responsibility. My work was checked thoroughly which is to be expected
Not particularly relevant for my degree but definitely relevant for when I start work
The Company
Great atmosphere
Overall organisation was good, induction was organised poorly. spent a lot of time without laptops so couldnt do anything
Not really any training, more to see if they want you and if you want to work there.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Seems likely I will be offered a job
The Culture
Everyone is friendly and sociable and wants to include you
Expensive to live and socialise in birmingham centre
Didnt really go on any nights out
Sports, meals, drinks etc
