    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Day cost me a lot as a student coming from the North of England and having to stump up for trains/ tubes and accommodation. £100 to a firm like M&G is peanuts but to a student it's a lot, though lunch was free.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes, a specific networking lunch which was interesting and in a really nice location on the balcony of the london office.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Really good, a specific networking lunch which was interesting and in a really nice location on the balcony of the london office.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Other than the pub on occasion didn't find out anything.

    1/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes if they can afford to go.
