Fantastic company. I love the ethos and am hoping to receive a job offer
The Culture
Not quite as social as uni - but there is such a wide intern community, and a large number of recent graduates, that the social side is a big part of the year
extremely cheap rent

Constantly encouraged to get involved in new opportunities
