The Role
Very varied work, interesting field and lots of valuable training.
Bit difficult as I was moved around a lot so didn't get to know many staff too well, but universally very friendly and interesting.
Regular contact with supervisors and feedback on each piece of work.
Variable. Always things to do though I expected to be a bit more pressured!
Varied project to project- very much dependant on peoples' personal impressions of me!
No relevance to degree but lots of useful training for workplace.
The Company
Lots of moving so not much social stuff going on.
Low level, assignments were distributed very ad hoc, sometimes felt they didn't know what to do with me. On a high level it was seamless, everything very well planned out.
Very keen to get me back, lots of training and focus on future potential rather than just what I can offer now.
Subsidised Canteen
Working from home
Very keen to have me back. An internship with them becomes a job in 90percent of cases.
The Culture
We were all moved about a lot; met for drinks once or twice but generally disappointing.
Uxbridge.
Uxbridge. Enough said.
No.
