    The Company

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

    • As I was only here for 9 weeks, I did not complete any formal training. However, office procedures were explained from the beginning and members from each department took time to introduce themselves and what the department does. I was also encouraged to go to client meetings which I found very useful.

    The Culture

    4/5

    • Due to the high student population the night life in Leeds is excellent offering different things for a wide range of people.

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

    • Yes we had a CSR project involving a local charity which allowed me to volunteer outside of work. Again, there are many activities on offer due to the large student population.
