    • The atmosphere was calm and the people were very helpful.

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

    • I liked the speaker series in Operations, which gave us a broader view on this function. Gaining access though was time consuming and the IT support can be very slow.

    • In the first week all of us had some general training sessions. After that, everyone is willing to help you as long as you ask.

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

    • The costs were relatively high, but so was the salary.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are a few bars and clubs around Bank, but I only went to a few of them.
