The Role
There was a lot of responsibility and variety,
you were seen as part of the team and not a placement. It was not emphasised that you were just a student instead you were given a lot of respect.
They were always there if I needed them but not too over crowding
Most days I was kept very busy but occasionally there were days when I needed to find things to do
I was given my own projects to do from the beginning
They have already assisted me a lot. My ability to communicate in a team, my self confidence and understanding of the artwork process has greatly improved.
The Company
It was a very quiet office
From university it was very well organised. Once in work I was chucked in the deep end as they had never had placements before
I was sent to observe the artwork process and given ome IT training
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Car
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I am thinking of going back there after graduation
The Culture
I was in the EAME building but in the UK building there was a good social scene
I lived at home and we went out in London and Maidenhead
There was only one club in Maidenhead to go out in but it was a laugh
there was the local gym which had classes you could attend
