The Company
Everyone was friendly and there was rarely a dull moment.
4/5
The placement was split between 2 departments with 6 month in each. The 2nd department was a lot more organised than the first. The scheme as a whole was very well organised with regular training and out of office events, as well as regular reviews and social events.
4/5
As an IET accredited scheme, there was a big push on personal development. The company invested a lot in us through training, mentoring and 1-to-1 performance reviews.
