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

    • Quite appealing as the work life balance is really good, however I am unsure whether I am interested in the profession.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns were all friendly but it was difficult to meet them initially as there were not many socials.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Very expensive as it was in central London, but the socialising can be done to reasonably low budget.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good - lots of variety for people of all ages.

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