    • Very friendly - both the employees, the recruiters and the other participants got along really well. There was a very informal atmosphere - for example with a pub quiz - and we were able to ask all the questions we might have.

    • It was an unpaid placement, but we were reimbursed for any travel costs, and students from outside of London and the UK had their flights and accommodation arranged.

    • Plenty! Both formal ones, but also a more informal night with drinks and quiz on a pub.
