Good working environment. Good working hours - you work eight to four, which is great for personnel life. Effective organization. The colleagues are very helpful and honest people.

They are not very good at training personnel meaning you won't reach your full potential immediately. This industry is also under heavy pressure when it comes to prices.

Pros

Even though it might be a somewhat bureaucratic organisation, Student Assistant have a rather high level of autonomy. It is a supportive and educating environment for students.

Cons

You have to be aware of the bureaucracy when carrying out project. If you are not use to it, it might be a bit overwhelming - it was for me at least.
