    3/5

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

    • I'm not sure I would want to come back, but the prospects if you do are quite good. The grad scheme is paid well and they invest a lot more in you if you're a grad

    The Culture

    • They put most of the interns in halls together, so it was quite social

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

    • The cost of living is not that high, but I didn't manage to save much over the summer. Once the cost of running a car is added in, my pay check only just covered my living costs

    • Very very average

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
