    • Went out for drinks, spent time with colleagues at lunch and had a lot of fun with them.

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

    • The overall setup was very much throw you in at the deep end. They give you an address and the first day is all you, second day they set the scene on everything. Not massively comprehensive and very much left it up to the line manager.

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

    • A great deal of time was spent on answering my questions and working to get me to a good level of understanding.

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

    • National Travel
    4/5

    • Potential offer on graduate scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I didn't participate in many intra-intern events, mainly stuck to the actual employees.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Well its London, I live here anyway so I know the cost.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again its London so see shows, go to cool bars, get to clubs. Everything is available.

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

    • If you wanted it then it could be setup. But there was no-one really pushing for it.
