The Role
There have been times where I've felt like I've struggled with the work, however I have had a very supportive team to help me with everything.
I have a very good relationship with my immediate colleagues, and the general atmosphere around the office is very possitive.
The work load differs on a regular basis
I was given as much as I asked for, and felt was enough for me!
Nothing I learn't at Uni helped with my placement year. The skills I have learn't this year are invaluable.
The Company
Happy and positive
Really well organised. You are trained for a month by a current intern which was really helpful.
I have taking a few different training courses and developed key skills whilst I have been here which will definitely benefit me in my future career.
