This job has been really fun. I am sat in an office with 3 full time members of staff who have been become good friends of mine, they were supportive and have helped me grow as a scientist. Out side of this I have made many other friends, there is a great deal of opportunity for me in many innovative areas of science. There is loads of opportunity for sport and social stuff, I was made a student member of the commitee and was able to organise a white water rafting trip which was great fun.
Adjusting to a competitive environment, being thrust into a company with hundreds of systems which you aren't trained on formally and working with individuals who aren't so keen on students made this a very challenging placement!
