The Role
Some days really busy, other days the opposite!
I was surprised at home much responsibility I was given.
The Company
Everyone was really friendly and approachable. We have some great socials including a boat party on the Thames which was great. All the Vac Schemers were really friendly and we met up for drinks after work on numerous occassions.
Talks took place every morning and we had various social events in the evening including Sushi Making, Boat Party, drinks and a 'speed dating' evening.
Subsidised Canteen
They recruit about half the vac schemers as far as I am aware. Would be a great firm to work for.
The Culture
This was brilliant. All the vac schemers were really friendly and supportive and we really helped each other out. We had e-mail threads going all the time to decide when to go for lunch and we met up for drinks after work on numerous occassions.
Was in London in the city so fairly expensive.
