The Role
A great placement, with the oppourtunity to really develop myslef. Not only a focus to complete my project but for the company to invist in developing me.
A real job with real responsibilities, and the oppourtunity to express an opinion which is valued and even expected.
Couldn't ask for better.
My placement lent itself to some busy periods but also the oppourtunity to spend some time on self evaluation.
Responsibility to role out a key initiative for the country.
The skills learnt were invaluable, and mainly aquired from spending time with seniour people in the business.
The Company
Very good atmosphere, made some friends for life.
Good structure with line manager, but given autonomy to self develop
A large amount of time and trust was given to me and the other interns especially from my line manager.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Still workng with th ecompany and development prospects are good.
The Culture
Ended up living with fellow intern and good friends with all.
Chose to live in Manchester so cost of living increased.
Great both with and without work
Good sports social life as well as organised evenings
