The Role
I really enjoyed it
i didn't feel as though i was a placement student at all!
always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they may have seemed - really felt appreciated
fairly busy always given adhoc jobs
alot of responsibility at times however most tasks where minor tasks
i think i developed however not sure how much will be used in other sectors
The Company
the work had no social aspect to it other then a weekly football match with the guys, the odd drinks for birthday christmas etc but no realy social atmosphere
seemed to have a little structure however mainly was adhoc work
had 3 intern days in birmingham which were great
Flexi Time
Above 25 days holiday
the public sector is secure in the current environment
The Culture
not very active - was quite dry at times
cheap lived at home
good but not like city live
yes monday night football
