The Role
Really enjoyed getting a feel for this industry and the firm is very supportive.
Everyone is very friendly and happy to let you get involved
You get a personal manager and a buddy who will assist you.
some days I had work to do, other days I was having to look for it
Got to work with live clients and was given responsibility do so.
useful for some of my 3rd year modules as well as providing an insight into Actuary.
The Company
Very sociable office.
Use of a 'buddy' was very good to get a feel of the work.
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
The Culture
Lived at home. Birmingham is a relatively expensive city to go out in.
