The Role
Pretty good fun, but I don't think I'm suited to this type of workplace.
It varied. Some treated me like an idiot; some were almost begging me to come back.
Always willing to help.
It was a little variable.
Building products for the company director.
Lots of time with circuits makes me a better engineer.
The Company
Cakes all the time.
The company was better than my uni academic supervisor, who is rubbish.
Been on lots of training.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
They want me to come back. I don't know if I will.
The Culture
Not that I'd want to anyway.
I don't socialise.
I hate 'nightlife' things.
A few.
