The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd part of my placement
I got on well with the entire department, not just my team
My manager was supportive throughout
could have been stretched more at the end of my placement
I was preparing work for finance directors and was also given responsib ility in work for other functions, for example project management
I became well organised & hit all my deadlines
The Company
Great atmosphere lots of banter - I loved it the people were interest and very engageing and made the day go fast
Relatively well organised - HR looked after us and made sure we knew where we were going and what we were doing.
Mostly online interactive training - never went on any residential training or anything like that
Subsidised Canteen
Have been offered a graduate job
The Culture
Made many life long friends, as well as my girlfriend!
Lived at home
never went on a night out
There were lots of opportunities like the three peak challenge - but i never got too much involved!
