The Role
Exceeded expectations
As busy as you’d like to make yourself, always manageable but lots of potential work to take on
The Company
Great balance of work and fun, with lots of social events organised. Sat amongst people in a range of positions, from apprentices to the world wide leader of the sector we were in
The Human Resources team lacked structure and direction, offer being quite distant, but the sector itself was very well organised
The more I put in, the more they invested in me, offering me opportunities and training courses.

Would certainly consider applying to go back, and once you have experience in the company it’s easier to get back into it
The Culture
Excellent office social side, but other placement students were in a completely different section so i never saw them
I lived at home but the access to Leeds centre and the white rose centre was easy
Great from what i experiences but can be a little rough as with all big cities
lots of opportunities such as tag rugby, football, frisbee. all within the office though, but volunteering opportunities excellent too
