    The Culture

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

    • We were always invited out to events and after-work drinks with more senior colleagues, and there were plenty of ice-breaker/social events organised with the other interns.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Cost of living - rented a flat for my studies at University in London, so it was very convenient to be situated at the Finsbury Square office in the city. However, London is extremely expensive in all aspects, i.e. food, rent, etc.

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

    • Our office was situated at Moorgate/the financial district. There were bars but not really a 'nightlife' per-say.

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

    • Tremendous amount of opportunities. The HR department had organised jam-packed events schedule for socialising and interacting with other interns across the country - also with the national training centre at Bradenham.
