The Role
A very enoyable place to work, which is both challenging and rewarding.
The company is very friendly and everyone works together to achieve results. As an intern it can be quite daunting to start a job and make an impression but so far everyone has been very welcoming.
I have regular one to ones with my boss on a monthly basis to ensure
Work tends to be determined by my boss so it can be busy one day or not the next. But you always find a way to keep busy as there are always things to do. The internship is an opportunity to understand the business and work out where your future lies and this is the perfect opportunity.
The Company
Really positive and friendly place to work.
I am eligible to go on courses to improve my skill set as well as have training in the last six months of my placement to see where my skill set lies and where future challenges could evolve.

So far there is a 100% strike rate of graduate interns being taken on due to the calibre of the candidate. Fingers crossed ill be succesful once the placement has finished.
The Culture
Its quite a young office so there is quite a bit of socialising on the weekends.
I live at home but you can get good rentals in the area.
Manchester has a great nightlife and has alot to offer.
