The Company
everyone in the office was extremely friendly and always happy.
4/5
Was organised very well. I was always given work to do and always had my reviews to make sure I’m happy with what I’m doing which was important to me
5/5
I wasn’t put though any external training although I don’t believe there was any available at the time that would have benefited me in my role. However I received internal training from my colleagues on how to do certain tasks and use certain pieces of software

The Culture
From this placement and meeting all the fellow students we were teethed all day at work and then we would be doing something most weekends as a group. we have all made friends for life.
5/5
Where I lived was a small town so there wasn’t much to do but I lived close to the train station which made it easy to get into the city(30mins).
3/5
As it was a town it didn’t have much there so when we would go out we would all get the train to the city
3/5
There were some staff events and days out planned which allowed us to get out of the office
