    • They have lots of seminars and talks scheduled during the first couple of weeks which really helps you to get to know more about the company and the other interns.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • During the first week you'll be sent on a community project which was really fun and a great bonding exercise for the interns. They also gave us a training afternoon on giving presentations which was very helpful.

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

    • They didn't really mention any future employment prospects within my department but I think they have positions in most departments on their graduate programme.

    The Culture

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

    • There's normally people to go out for a drink with on thursday and friday nights :)

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

    • Obivously because it was London it will be a bit expensive but we found this great place just a few minutes away from the office which does half price drinks between 5pm and 8pm (The Gable) which made things alot cheaper!

    2/5
  • 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?

    • There are a few things planned for the interns throughout the placement including the summer party!
