    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The compoany culture sparked a great social environment and everyone were very close, making it even more fun to come in to work! there was always activites organised, whether it was spinning classes and 12 o clock runs, or Christmas parties and thursday pub visits, there was always a way for people to get involved!

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • As the placement was located in the heart of London, the cost of living was very high. it still allowed people to socialise, as we had good social spaces in the office with a drinks fridge. The local pubs around the office were not too expensive and their was always a way of getting around it.

    1/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • nightlife was great and such a wide variety of places, since it was London. There was everything from local traditional british pubs to full on night clubs. There was a lot of way for the interns to have fun, both with the office team as well as with friends (social activities and pubs).

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There was always sports related activities organised on a weekly basis (spinning, running, yoga on mondays), and friday pub visists as well as xmas parties and end of year parties. Having constant social activities and involvement amongst the team members at the office, it made it almost impossible to not get involved!
