  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • From what I have seen, very appealing

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social side between fellow interns was very good, with all the interns I interacted with on a day to day basis being friendly and amenable, social events between interns outside of the office, were not frequent, but they were enjoyable when they did occur.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living was very high, but we were more than suitably compensated to account for this

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was perfectly good enough to enjoy

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were occasionally but they were infrequent

    3/5
