Integrate technical inputs from various teams and present back to the customer.

4/5
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
3/5
Decent salary for a graduate position, benefits could be improved as many are not as good value for base rate tax payers. Holiday package is not the best, only 25 days, some of which you do not get to choose so effective holiday entitlement is lower.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
4/5
Good if I stay in similar roles, but limited applicability to other roles/industries
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?

Not enough formal training specific to job role, but I am learning on the job

it's a defence company so hard to justify a higher rating, but does engage with other events quite well.
