    • During the first month with the company all interns are put on a thorough training course. The course is run by the directors as well as other members of staff who take time out of their usual schedules. This shows the level of commitment to the training and development of the intern students straight away.

    The Culture

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

    • I feel that the interns formed friendships really quickly this year and we regularly socialize outside of work, however, it is not just the placements who meet up out of the office.

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

    • Fairly expensive place to go out, however, as I was able to live at home during my internship and I was still able to save a lot of money.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Amazing but expensive. Lots of places to go to during night outs.

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

    • If there is not already something being organised by some one you can organise something yourself. There are always company wide emails being sent round asking who is interested in doing some sort of activity.
