Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Swings and roundabouts, the team and company in general are nice, was never mistreated. However, the lack of work was very infuriating at times, the nature of the company being that only busy if work is won so I spent weeks doing nothing.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Frazer-Nash Consultancy
Engineering knowledge is good, more about applying the knowledge and being good at finding out what you dont know and how to tackle rather than the actual problem itself as you are met with working across many different sectors within the field for example, power, high-voltage, low-voltage and instrumentation
