The Role
It was a nice environment to work in, very friendly and welcoming.
Colleagues were friendly and supportive.
Management were very approachable for feedback and help.
Every day there was always tasks to be done. The days passed relatively quickly.
In some departments more than others.
In some departments the work developed very useful skills, however other departments the work wasn't very useful or worthwhile to my learning.
The Company
Good balance between work and social.
Well organised and structure was made clear from the first day.
Great opportunity and learned some valuable skills to take into my final year of uni.
Company Parties/Events
Through speaking to colleagues there seems to be lots of opportunities and I would like to apply for future positions at the end of my degree.
The Culture
Made friends with other students and regularly go for lunches etc.
Living at home while working, so no additional costs for socialising, just travel costs.
Edinburgh is always a good place to be in the summer.
In a central location with surrounding bars, cinema, gyms and nightlife.
