The Role
Given lots of different tasks in a number of areas which helped me to get a lot of experience.
Everyone was friendly, felt part of the team from day one.
Any questions I needed answering; they were there ready. Really supportive and helpful in building on my skills
Was in stages. Could be really busy at one time then not have too much to do. But it balanced out.
I was left to get on with tasks on my own, given guidance if and when I needed/asked for it.
It built up slowly, so that it the pressure was not overwhelming but still challenging.
The Company
Everyone was friendly and made you feel welcome.
Majority of it was well thought out.
They took a lot of time and effort to train me in the software package they use. Everyone was patient when training me in the different disciplines, if I didn't know about something all I had to do was ask!
Travel loan
It's a very good company to work for. They are very development focused and want you to improve and get better.
The Culture
People in the office were pretty sociable if anyone actively encouraged them to come to the pub
I live in a shared house so it has not been too expensive.
London is full of bars, pubs and clubs. Also plenty of sober activities to do.
The younger crowd in the office were pretty good at getting together for days out.
