Pros

They work on lots of large projects across many sectors. Have good corporate events. The London office has a free bar paid for by the partners, 6-8 on thursdays and fridays.

Cons

I was managed very poorly. I was given a laptop and told to do some training activities on their intranet. Once I'd learnt how to measure drawings on CAD Measure those were the majority of jobs I was given, long and arduous jobs. Learning nothing, just doing the same thing every day, clicking and transferring the measures to Excel. A placement student is there to learn, not to be used as just another cog in the engine.

The people and the work we do.

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
