    • They're all wonderful people who I would call friends, not just colleagues.

    4/5

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • There is always something going on, but when the worls got to be done we all get our heads down and make sure it gets done

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

    • When I started the placement student from the previous year was there to train me for my first 2 months, this meant that the rest of the team weren't affected my lack of knowledge. When he left there were 4 other ex-placement students within the team I was working who had returned after graduation. This meant that there was a great support base for me and even when I struggled to grasp certain aspects of my role things still ran smoothly. Now I'm coming to the last 2 months of my placement I will be training the next placement student, and the cycle continues.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There's one other placement student within the team who I knew previously from university, and whilst I don't have much in common with him, we both socialise with people that we interact regularly at work. We play football weekly at lunchtime, there's a monthly pool tournament and we socialise outside of work frequenly.
