The Role
Was a relaxed atmosphere and I got the occasional freebie
I worked in a small office so felt like a family
My manager was always on hand to offer me advice and support
It was busy on and off
towards the end of my placements I was handling a few small projects myself
They paid for me to go on a training course for a computer program which I can put on my CV
The Company
It was very nice, especially when everyone was in. Everyone was always talkative.
Pretty good
Like I said before they paid for me to go on an expensive computer programming course.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Above 25 days holiday
Its a great company and I'd love a job with them in the future, but I want to experience other companies first.
The Culture
It was ok, it could have been better. Most of the other placement students seemed to go away but we'd go out in town now and again
Was a decent price.
Few places you could go.
They have a wide range of sports clubs and events you could volunteer for.
