The Role
It's been my favourite job - I've come back several years running
We are all good friends
At first he was more hands-on but he realised that I was happy to work independently
Things to do every day
Was given tasks to complete in my own time, doing similar work to my (permanently employed) colleagues
I recommend working in a lab if you study science
The Company
We would often go for drinks after work and food at lunchtime
There were a couple of occasions where I wasn't paid on time etc but on the whole it was good
It was fine
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Pretty good - I have come back several years running
The Culture
I didn't hang out with the other students that much but I had a good relationship with my colleagues
Lived at home
Near London - so not too bad
NPL has lots of societies etc
