The Role
Given high levels of responsibility and had a diverse job role.
Felt welcome and respected within my team. Feedback given was always listened to.
Great manager who was extremely accommodating. There was also a mentoring scheme in place.
Always busy but in a good way!
Given high levels of responsibility, given projects to work on independently.
Improved skill set dramatically. Gained new knowledge in a lot of areas!
The Company
Great atmosphere - lots of undergrads in the same office. Worked in a really fun and vibrant department.
Clearly established placement scheme.
Given lots of opportunities for personal development, including days at agencies.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Would really like to return as a graduate.
The Culture
Big undergraduate community, lots of departmental and undergraduate nights out. Also went away for a weekend with undergraduates / grads to Prague.
Luton is a really cheap place to live with rent being nearly half what I paid at uni! Cheap nights out with drink offers.
Big fan of Liquid Luton and Legends...
Played 7-a-side footy.
