    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • From travelling to the office in London, I feel that if I had had my placement there I would have got a lot more out of my internship. Therefore, it is appealing if it were to be a job based in London, however, it would not be appealing to do regional employment.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Again, I recieved all the emails from the other interns about social events they were organising which seemed fun and a weekly occurence, however, being based in Cambridge I could never attend these events!
