    • Great sense of banter around the office, everyone got on well with each other - was easy to fit in.

    5/5

    • During the internship the organisation was faultless but prior to it (ie. the recruitment side of things), sometimes I felt as though they'd forgotten about my interviews/application.

    5/5
