The Role
Excellent opportunity to develop organisational and team working skills.
It took me time to adjust with the environment and work, but later on the team really relied on me to a certain extent.
Communication to management in general was superb, but there was hardly any support from them to learn and explore. I had to learn mostly on my own.
There are times when we are really busy and times when relaxed, but there is always something happening.
It helped me to develop general working, organisational and team working skills. There was no training given.
The Company
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday

The Culture
Not alot is taking place between placement students.
Living in swindon was expensive for no good reason as for as I am concerned.
Small town small places.
Gym and some parties.
