The Role
Very enjoyable. Having previously work out on sight it was very interesting to have the experience of working for the Work Winning team.
Very valued. I felt respected by my colleagues and like the work that I did was appreciated.
The management at Costain are brillient. When ever needed I was given support and guidence.
I feel like I had the perfect balance of work. I was kept busy with interesting tasks, but not constantly over worked.
Lots of responsability. I feel like the work that I did was really valued
That skill and training that I have recieved / developed will be enormously beneficial to me. They will assist both with my University and future career.
The Company
A good professional atmoasphere was felt within the office. People were friendly and had fun, but also hard working
Good organisation and structure to the placement. I could have had a little more information at the start but was still good.
A lot. I really felt like the company were investing in me as if I was already a full time employee.
Subsidised Canteen
I am comfident that I will secure a job with them in the future. All i need is for them to make an offer.
The Culture
I got on well with the other placement students but we didnt tend to go on social. We were there to work.
Acceptable costs. I traveled and sociallised from home.
Acceptable nighlife. I treavelled from home so nighlife was as usual.
Some oppertunities. Between the students we organised our own site visits etc.
