The Role
Very enjoyable year, enjoyed the job role and responsibilities but found the day-to-day routine slightly repetitive at times. Good social life provided by the large number of IP students here was a big plus.
Good amount of responsibility given, slightly overwhelming at times but great experience.
The Company
Great atmosphere in the office, lots of fun and easy going colleagues.

The Culture
Couldn't ask for a better social experience. Like being at uni but getting paid. Lots of nights out, events etc.
Cost of living relatively high in comparison to university, cost of socialising reasonable within Uxbridge but very expenseive in central London.
Nightlife in Uxbridge isn't great, but lots of places to go in surrounding areas (Watford, Windsor, Central London)
