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

    • Great atmosphere, everyone knew everyone.

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

    • One or 2 problems, took 2 days to gain access to the K drive, and the taxi situation after the induction finished was a bit difficult. Also felt it a bit unfair for people working quite far from Birmingham to get to there regional office for 9am the next morning. Other than that to be fair, it was very well organised.

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

    • Was difficult not getting a lot of specific training to begin with, but thats obvouosly one of these things when doing a rotation scheme. Around the office people would always give their time to help and assist.
