The Role
The work I got given to do was good, there just wasn't enough of it.
BORED! Nothing to do, everyone said they had no work form me. Felt like a waste of company money employing me.
Given a reasonable amount of responsibility, left to work independantly and get on with tasks.
Learned alot, much more that I do at uni.
The Company
Good atmosphere, everyone very friendly and helpful
Felt like they didn't know I was coming, nothing set up to begin with and first department wasn't expecting me. Got better though.
People were always willing to help and give me background information, and they all tried to develop my knowledge
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Ok, chance of sponsorship and future employment
The Culture
Everyone was friendly and talkative
ok
Didn't look for any
Plenty to get involved with, weekly football and a tournament.
