    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Good idea with the hours cap (thyou could not work more than a cetrain number of hours per day) - there was enough time to meet people and make friends that I would now be happy to work with

    5/5

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • For me the most important skill that I developed was networking and making connections with people. Never before had I realised how important that is!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • A lot of young people, very international. I would suggest getting housing with other interns - much more fun!

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

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

    • Nice modellig training at the beginning, top salary from day one... I guess they lost money at this point but I hope to work for it in the future ;)

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

    • Well-established top tier choice

    5/5

    The Culture

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

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

    • Pretty expensive cause it is Lodnon but among interns you can find people who want to save more and less money after the internship so there is no problem with that + it is a really well paid job

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

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

    • The division I was in was pretty busy so you did not really have time for activities in the weektime. You could go to the gym during the day though although it is better to stay focus during the internship. One of my colleagues from other divisions joined rugby team though so there are things to do if you want and have time
