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

    • I wouldn't go back - not because I didn't enjoy my time but I've realised that the field of work I was in isn't one I would want to go into in the future.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good, it helped that there were quite a few of us so lots of people to meet

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

    • Pretty poor really due to the close proximity to London.

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

    • It was ok I suppose, nothing special

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Work wise, not really but there were sports clubs outside of work where I lived.
