The Role
always busy with plenty to do, people are very friendly and approachable, company has a fantastic ethical approach to everything
put up for plenty of different pieces of work based on skill sets, took on a role which meant I was the one asked questions about a subject based on research I had done.
managers and other colleagues are very approachable and happy to help or give input, no question is too ridiculous to ask!
as with all jobs, there was a fluctuation on a day to day basis, however I have learnt plenty of time management strategies to deal with the busy days, and this allows me to have something to do on days where work would normally seem slower
varying levels depending on the project
fantastic life skills and office environment skills as well as time management for university work
The Company
good balance of work and play with some lovely people
excellent organization with plenty of opportunities to train in areas and shadow different departments.
every training opportunity is available to you, some are mandatory and the rest are pretty much up to you if you want to take them. the more you take the better your training record will look!

Working from home
plenty of graduate scheme opportunities as well as the ability for the company to keep your detail on record
The Culture
other students are very sociable and likeable, i have made some great friends
London prices are hard for a student to swallow at first, but when you are being paid this is helped somewhat
London nightlife is fantastic with plenty of things to do, see and easy travel routes regardless of where you live
emails come in practically every day about various schemes, opportunities and days out for training, charity or further development that people have taken part in or are available to take part in
