“There is no typical day or week because the work is so varied. I’ve worked on two or three projects since I’ve been here for periods of between six and twelve months. You have work to complete but it’s up to you how you plan and do it, so you have autonomy.”

“I especially like the idea of getting all the cross-site graduates together every three months to work on team projects. It allows excellent networking and enables us to build up contacts in the different business units quickly. For me, one of the main benefits has been changing teams and projects every few months.

“There is a lot of development and support which everyone appreciates. You get to experience a product’s lifecycle so your knowledge and understanding increase significantly. Opportunities to travel are also available  – I’ve just been to Canada to have a look at a new product release.”

“It’s definitely the breadth of the things we do. We get set tasks in business awareness and strategy, meet the Vice Presidents and get access to people we normally wouldn’t meet. It gives you more insight into other perspectives and gives you a much deeper understanding of the business as a whole and why decisions get made.”
