    • Graduate scheme seems to be very good, the company is rapidly changing and it is hard to predict what the future holds for future employment...

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good, both with the interns at your local site (where you are based) and among interns on the same stream but at different locations.

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

    • Accommodation was provided for at no cost at all so even though it was central Manchester and not the cheapest place on earth, for the interns it was very affordable as we had no accommodation costs, free accommodation is provided for all interns across all sites.

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

    • Central Manchester so very good, can't fault it

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

    • Lots of side projects to work on outside of the standard role
