Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your experience as a Graduate Systems Engineer at Leonardo. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the exposure to project work during your time with us. Providing graduates with meaningful, hands-on experience across a variety of programmes is something we place great importance on. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding periods of downtime. As project priorities and timelines can shift, there can occasionally be quieter periods, particularly within large-scale engineering programmes. Thank you again for your contribution to Leonardo, and we wish you all the best in your future career.
