    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Really chilled atmosphere, everyone is really nice and friendly, with a coffee culture that encourages you to go for coffee and catch up and learn new things. The company is really fast-paced, so everyone is generally busy.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The overall placement program is really organised with a dedicated team to coordinate it. My role was completely new so was less organised, but my manager had a clear picture of key projects and objectives.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • London is an expensive city, so rent and drinks are generally high

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
