  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very mixed, the company as a whole has an interesting job appeal. The mix between consulting and insurance is quite unique. However the scale of the company means that you get lost a bit in company politics and I feel progression quickly through the company may be slow.
