    • 4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There are many places available for employment within the firm. When joining you will be rotating in a graduate programme with four rotations on different desks. This sounds great.

    The Culture

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

    • Interns were very open and willing to hang out. We often went to several bars and restaurants in Canary Wharf.

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

    • Pretty expensive area, but this is probably the same over whole London.

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

    • There were quite some bars en restaurants close to the office. On Thursdays and Fridays it would be packed outside on the terraces.

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

    • No I have not heard of any activities to get involved in. Maybe this was because of summer. They organised some sports events in May and September though.
