Considering the quick adaptation to COVID it was structured well. However more could have been done to explain how you were going to start. Maybe a new starter induction presentation could have been made.

My manager was excellent.

The support was to a high standard with the provider making time to talk things through whenever you needed to or did not get anything.

Now I know some fundamentals about data etc I can bring a new dimensions and suggestions to the team and my department. However this might not advance your role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are some, including groups for protected characteristics.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Tarmac to a friend?
No
Why?
I would recommend my team and my manager. However there is still room for improvement in giving a voice to the people that are not on schemes such as the graduate scheme. Everyone's opinion counts. It should be who is the best person for the role.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Tarmac?
There are schemes out there for everyone, however be prepared to wait because your role might not advance. This is a stable company to work for who take health and safety very seriously.
