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

    • Not to just say I have already been offered the job but I am definitely intent on joining the firm.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Apart from the interns that I was assigned to in a team at the training it was hard to meet other interns as I was always at a client site. I think the firm should have made more effort to organise events for the intern.

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

    • Varied, lunch was paid for so food was not a problem. After work there was always an opportunity for drinks which were quite reasonable.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Didn't have the opportunity to go out with work colleagues. But heard that it was good.

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

    • Apart from the CSR day, there was not much we were informed of.
