    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Really great atmosphere. Everyone was very welcoming and, although everyone worked hard, no one took themselves too seriously.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Fantastic organisation of the internship. I could tell that the team had spent time thinking about what tasks to give me so that I would be exposed to as many aspects of the business as possible.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Lots of training sessions. These were really useful to my own development.

    5/5

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

    • I would certainly take a job if it is offered.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was one of two interns on my floor and we got on well. It was really nice to have someone going through the same process as me. The office was quite social as well, with several nights out organised.

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

    • London is quite expensive.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • A collection of several bars and pubs in the area. The office was in the middle of London so nowhere was too far to go.

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

    • There was talk of organising a couple of sports teams but this did not happen by the time the internship had finished.
