    • As other developers know, Googling skills are important! On top of increased knowledge with different languages and software tools, my googling talents have increased 10 fold.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Different offices come with different atmospheres - always friendly, but depending on where you are based and which offices you visit you could be in a room with 3 others or a huge office with 100. Plenty of opportunity to work from home.

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Will more than likely return providing I can join an area in the business I am interested in.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • As previously mentioned we often still meet up for drinks outside of work.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Again, I travelled nationally so can't give a decent answer to this. If you find yourself away from your base office all expenses are paid for - Hotel, food allowance, and travel. In my base location (Beeston / Nottingham) I lived with family, so my living expenses were pretty much non-existent.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • 4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Changing teams often and working from various locations made it hard to join activities on a regular basis.
