The Role
Fairly repetitive
My team was fantastic
My buddy was really good, but this was very dependent on who was assigned to you.
Fairly busy, but not overwhelmed
Not a great deal, but some things were left in my control
I learnt a lot about efficiency and skills I will use in job hunting and interviews
The Company
My team was fun but I can see how this greatly affected the experience; other teams weren't as good.
Some activites and accomodation issues were poorly planned but OK overall
1 week induction
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare from home
I've got a job with them; I think I'm still going to look around though
The Culture
We lived together so that was positive
It was London, so it was expensive
Pretty good
We had a charity day organised and clubs and societies were available too
