Regular feedback meetings and informal catchups

Regular feedback meetings and informal catchups

Very well

Company events like the JLR challenge (camping and hiking) are available outside of work

Yes

It's a great way to gain on the job experience and a university degree whilst being paid a nice wage

Try and get some form of work experience before the interview stages, it will be a great talking point.
