    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I wasn't at my office for the majority of the internship but the atmosphere in my team was never too intense. It wasn't that lively however.

    3/5

    • I think very well.

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

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

    • If you are enthusiastic, hard-working and keen to learn, there is no reason why you won't get a job offer!

    The Culture

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

    • Of the four interns at my office, we formed a good bond fairly quickly, however we never worked together after our induction week.
