Pros

Provided extremely valuable experience that is unattainable in any other environment. Allowed for guided personal development whilst also sufficient freedom was given to make it feel as if one was directly contributing towards a worthy goal.

Cons

Uncompetitive compensation compared to similar companies. It was often observed that the people in control of the cancellation or continuation of a project were somewhat disconnected and not fully up to date with all the significant details and results. Industrial placement students often felt mistreated and undervalued with poor consistency between supervisors.

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
