The Role
Better than I expected
I felt really part of a community at work and felt extremely valued by everyone
My boss has been great and helped me achieve everything I wanted to
I have been very busy, but a good amount of busy!
I have been given lots of responsibility and ran a few of my own projects
The software I have used will help me a lot. As well as the actual content I learnt and the organisation skills I leant
The Company
Great!
Very organised
I went on every piece of training available
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
Healthcare from home
It would be great if I could work there after my degree
The Culture
Yes, everyone was lovely and there was a lot of people who were quite young so that was nice
I’d say pretty average
I didn’t go out much but great places to drink in Leeds
Yes
