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

    • The start of the internship was extremely well organised, the time spent in the office depended on the line manager we had, I was very fortunate and mine organised my placement well. The process of graduate shceme offers at the end was very unorganised and many of us didn't know what it was.

    • We had a training day at the start which was very helpful, but that was our only training.

    The Culture

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

    • There were a few events with the inters but these were organised by the interns as oppose to someone within the company organising events for us.

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