    The Company

    • Work was exciting, the team had meetings, townhalls, scrums and all sorts of daily interaction just to vary it up, the project itself was comprised of few different components covering various development areas keeping me interested

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

    • Some speaker events started getting boring and felt like too much, but that's for the most part it. The laptop i had to work with was a bit slow, but that was just in my case and not the hr's fault

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was asked which areas i was interested in working with/learning so i could use that in my project. E.g. after the core of the project was done my manager allowed me to make a web interface for the application in order for me to learn web development

    5/5

    • Flexi Time

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Look forward to entering the graduate program. They're offering a lot of places and they are prioritising interns, so there's a good chance to get on it. And from there on it's pretty much a full time job

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, the interns were all friendly and the events did help us all to become friends. There's nothing as good for making friendships as digging a ditch together for charity (csr event)

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

    • Same as everywhere, city centre. We did have a good relationship amongst interns so there were plenty of opportunities to socialise. After work going to the closest pub for... tea...

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

    • Same as everywhere, although i'm not much into the nightlife myself. The city's culture is not perfect when it comes to that...

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

    • We had arranged events, corporate social responsibility, networking events, breakfasts, evening events, etc
