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

    • I believe my personal development helped in terms of understanding more things to do with the business and how they operated, however some of the training was not provided to the extent that it should have been. This meant I had to familiaries myself with the programmes instead of being taught how to use it.

    National Travel

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

    • A job within this company would be ideal however realistically I understand that there is a lot of competition for a small number of jobs.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social aspect was good, however it was much more centered around my smaller divided group instead of all the interns within the company.

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

    • The costs were very high, however this was expected considering it is central London.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was very good however it was just too expensive to experience on a regular basis.

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

    • There were some opportunities however they weren't really made apparent to me, I only heard them through other interns.
