The Role
To begin with, I found it a little boring and not very intelectually demanding - Now I am being tested with my project work
I feel very valued in my department
They are very supportive
This is dependant upon the day - But I am extremely busy at the moment.
Lots now, not so much previously.
Usefull analytical skills picked up. Enhanced communication skills also.
The Company
Pretty quiet apart from 1/2
I didnt get the technical placement I wanted however I am happy with the year so far
They find my personal development very important
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Appealing in certain roles.
The Culture
No real organised ones, mainly unnoficial ones
Hertford is reasonablyexpensive
On nightclub - But its alright
