    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    The Company

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

    • My department was very serious when busy, but when there was downtime, everyone was very friendly and chatty.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Everything was well organised, but the preparedness of work available to the interns varies from team to team and manager to manager. So one intern might have had a schedule planned out of what projects to work on each week, where as another intern might have been left to their own devices to find enough work to do.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They gave us plenty of training sessions and the tacit knowledge which we gained from being integrated into the firm's important work was very useful.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • National Travel

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare/Dental

    • I'm excited to come back to the company after I finish Uni.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The group of interns became very close friends. We ate lunch together every day and would often socialize outside of work.

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

    • It was more expensive during the month of the August as the city had a festival and all of the prices were raised, but aside from that one month, the city has a relatively low cost of living.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The interns had a few socials at the festival and enjoying the nightlife.

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

    • The city has plenty of opportunities for enthusiasts of all areas.
