Formulation Scientist Review

Flexible work, I manage my own time and I am not overly micromanaged. As it is project work my days vary depending on what needs to be done. Days range from;
-A whole day formulating (creating shampoo or conditioners) new technologies.
-Taking measurements and generating data from samples made.
-Desk work, including presentation of data in team meetings and writing scientific reports

I was given a lot of responsibility and creative control over my project. In one of my projects, I ended up stepping up to fill another role when a full-time employee fell ill, and on their return, I maintained the position, and the dynamic of the project was adjusted to maximize both me and the other employee.
Many opportunities were given such as sitting in on high-caliber supplier meetings and deciding where the projects should go next.

-Presentation skills have greatly improved
-hard skills such as JMP program usage
-improved my time management
-networking and communication were always strong but I have learned how to adjust these for a corporate environment

Lots at the start I was supported all the way through the onboarding.
Then support fell away but if I wanted it it was always available, this gave me the space to grow and learn in my own way.

Very supportive of you as a person
You didn't feel like just a number, very personal, and had an active learning environment.
support was very easily available and people were very willing to help

Really enjoyed it.
Was a great opportunity to experience the corporate world without the pressure of it being a full-time job after university.
I really enjoyed working with people with high-level technical qualifications and business roles as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think everyone should do a placement

Yes
