    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I actually went on to gain a job at CRUK which i was so pleased about. This though is not the case with everyone as there is alot of interns in one take. The job I managed to get was an internal position, so I wouldnt have have access to it otherwise.

    The Culture

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

    • Being part of the internship group was tonnes of fun. We ate lunch together everyday and was abit like being back at university. There was a great atmosphere and evryone looked out for each other. There was a really good after work social scene among us which was great for making new friends.

    • The bars were good but there aren't any clubs in Angel.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes. Our intern manager always let us knoew when we could volunteer with something and you got a great insight into all the fundraising the charity does. It was always really easy to take art in another teams event which was handy for me who was trying to gain event experience.
