    • Being in an open-plan office with customer services meant there was always an atmosphere - sometimes overly so!

    • Everything had been thought of - all students were well integrated into the business.

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

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

    • Within JC itself there are not a lot of oppurtunities, as it is a small office. However, having the experience of working for Johnson & Johnson would benefit you in applying to other parts of the company. The main oppurtunities are within the sales force; however, i had little to do with this area.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • A large number of students are employed each year, which makes settling in very easy.

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

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

    • Hmm... High Wycombe itself is what you make it ... if there is a large group of you it can be fun. You are close to other towns/cities for larger nights out.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The Sports & Social Club continually had events running (for example theatre trips and fund raising events) so there was always something to look forward to. The best event being 3 peaks!
