The Role
It was a useful insight to what my future work will be like and it also provided me with information I can use in my university course
The were very friendly and nice people, they were very busy though so found it hard to give me work that I would be capable of doing on my own
They were very helpful when I needed it
Some days I didn't get work to do, just because people were so busy
I was inexperienced so I understand why I wasn't given much responsibility
They have proved to be useful
The Company
Very friendly and busy
No real structure to it
The project and office was to busy so couldn't really provide me with much development or teaching
Travel loan
I understand when I actually work with them full time I will be much more busy but during my placement there was some days where I was given no work
The Culture
Not sure
I lived at home and didn't spend any social time with colleagues
N/A
Not for me as I wasn't there long enough
