The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed my year, although would have liked to been on a placement that had some link with previous professional experience and my passions.
I built really great relationships with my colleagues and was touched to hear how much they would miss working with me when I finished my placement.
N/a
I was constantly busy, with clients, investors and projects.
I was given some responsibility, and allowed to lead certain projects.
I was placed in a sector and role that were both dissimilar to jobs I had done previously, or am doing now. The placement offered more new skills in terms of personal development, than professional, in my experience.
The Company
Generally good, although needed a little time at the beginning to work out the "lay of the land", as with most offices, particualrly in a different country.
Well organised multifaceted scheme. I would, however, have preferred to have been placed in a role similar to my professional experience thusfar.
N/a
Company Parties/Events
N/a
The Culture
Yes, absolutely. One of the highlights of the year!
Very reasonable. If you budgeted well you were able to enjoy your time, and travel.
Excellent.
Yes, always social gatherings, or community events that you could take part in.
