Insight Leader Review

I really enjoyed working to Magpie. The staff were all really friendly and supportive. The type of work was something I really enjoyed and I felt I could put a lot of passion into my work.

I felt like my work was really valued. I felt a really sense of achievement when my manager showed me how my work had influenced their projects.

I was provided with a lot of guidance. I always felt like I knew what I was suppose to be doing and what was expected of me.

Not too busy. The hours were really flexible and so I could easily fit work around my studies. I never felt like my work was getting in the way of studying for my degree.

I felt like I had quite a bit of responsibility when collecting primary data from students that I knew would influenced decisions that Magpie made.

I'm now employed as a web developer, and the experienced I gained from my time at Magpie now helps me on a daily basis. Providing feedback on design concepts allowed me to become more critical when working on projects, and I now feel confident in analysing website designs to see the positives and negatives of each concept. Also, I gained so much confidence in myself and this made attending interviews when looking for employment much easier.

I worked from home, but when I did visit the office I always felt welcome. The atmosphere felt relaxed and calm.

Everything was well organised. From Vision Days to the days when my manager visited me in Liverpool, everything ran smoothly because it was organised. I felt like I always knew what I needed to be doing and when my deadlines were.

Vision Days, where all of the Insight Leaders from around the country came together for the day, allowed me to build my confidence further through meeting other students doing the same job as me. The team building exercises that took place of Vision Days, such as a treasure hunt, helped to build relationships and develop team working skills.
