    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The office was definitely a place where you could get stuck into your work as it was quiet which enabled me to concentrate. However, there was also time for chatting and getting to know colleagues which I think is very important.

    • There was a very clear structure to the internship pathway.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
