The Role
Relaxed place to work, friendly and helpful staff. Lots of interesting projects happening.
Very friendly staff
Everyone was ready to help out if you ask them!
Good balance between experimental, theoretical and design work. Sometimes left waiting for experiments to finish/components to arrive.
Enough responsibility to keep me interested in the project!
Learnt a lot of very useful things during my time here, will be a huge bonus in the future!
