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

    • There were a few occasions where I was not that busy, but the internship programme was designed in a way that HR provided tasks and projects for you to do in these periods. So I was always doing something, learning along the way.

    The Culture

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

    • We were quite spread out among the region - although we did have a few days at the head office in Bristol. But there were no social events outside of this.
