    The Culture

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

    • There are a lot of interns around, and the company makes sure that we are properly introduced, so we can take it from there. Also, there is a new employee society of over 100 members that runs regular activities.

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

    • There are several activities run by the company, but one must look for these opportunities.
