    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Good atmosphere, nice people in the office, everyone was really nice.

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

    • The whole scheme is organised really well across Aon. Then when in the office it is organised well that you have a buddy and supervisor all sorted out and you know who to ask for stuff.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The training on the job was good with lots of relevant sessions with graduates and other interns. We also had to complete a CSR project as part of a team and this helped develop me personally.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Unsure whether I have a job or not but will know in 5 days time. I think the conversion rate last year was around 50% but higher in Investment Consulting.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We had to organise stuff ourselves, which was easy to do but not in large groups, just 4 or 5. Would be nice if Aon organised socials for the interns over the placement. There were a few drinks evenings with colleagues too.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Fairly pricey but standard for london. There were definitely cheaper bars with 2-for-1 offers and happy hours.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife was good, plenty of bars to choose from

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were sports teams like football and cricket that a few interns played on.
