    4/5

    • They were always around for me to ask questions when I needed them. however they never looked over my shoulder and told me what to do so to speak.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was kept pretty busy while I was there. In a typical day I would spend maybe an hour withut something to do. However, I think this was because there was less work on due to the summer holidays and not a fault of any of my managers or organisers of the internship itself.

    • During my internship I was responsible for an entire survey project reporting back to a manager every so often.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt a lot more about excel for one thing which will be of huge help. similarly the spereince within an office, meeting new people and confidence gained from this will definitely help going forward.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • There is definitely a good chance of being able to get a job. However this is dependent on company hiring policy and my review I suppose.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Unfortunately there were no other interns in my department so I did not regularly get to socialise with them. however on the occasions when interns met up during the internship we would go for drinks and socialise together.

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

    • Central London prices. however, my seniors would usually pay for most of the drinks.

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

    • Cebtral London nightlife.

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

    • Through work no there was not much and the short nature of the internship meant joining a club for the small amount of time seemed pointless.
