- Enough work to make the day fly by and test yourself - Not too much work that you felt like you are drowning
- More than I could have imagined - Both challenging and rewarding - Always received credit when due
- The work ethic gained from this placement is invaluable - I could not imagine entering my third year of uni without experiencing this placement
The Company
- Quite quiet, could do with more fun on a day to day basis
