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

    • The nightlife was spectacular in the area I worked but it was not a huge concern for me.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are opportunities to shadow other departments, even those completely unrelated to my placement. Other than that, the responsible business challenge, which interns and graduates tried to raise fund for a charity organisation is compulsory for all.
