    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I am quite happy with my co-workers

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The events for all interns were really well organized, quite entertaining and useful. On the other hand I did not have a concrete project assigned so ended up doing a few smaller ones and scavenging for more work.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I think the company tried their very best to prepare me for a graduate position

    5/5

    • Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare from home
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Personally I am split. I like the atmosphere and the company but prefer more "hard core" computer science related job. I wouldn't mind working for the company.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Really good to be among peers that are in the same boat as you are.

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

    • London area is quite expensive

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

    • Didn't have too much desire for that. I guess it is not difficult to have nightlife if one wants, though.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Really good - from company wide sporting events to fun and networking

    4/5
