  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have been extended for a month over the summer, which I'm very happy about. Unfortunately the head count means that they can't employ me fully at the time being, but I would love to go back if the opportunity arose.

    The Culture

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

    • There were a few socials organised, although on a day to day basis I didn't feel like I could join in. Most of the interns went to lunch together, but I didn't always take a full lunch break, as many other members of my team didn't.

    • Living and working in London is very expensive. My income was almost exactly equal to my outgoings and so socialising, unfortunately, didn't happen very often!
