way too busy and they expect way too much from their staff and give unrealistic time scales to get things done.

★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 1/10

• Company Parties/Events

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

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

when I graduate if the job situation is no better than it is now then I will come back, but that would be almost last resort.

Other Information

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

great, because we were all the same age and all really like-minded people.

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

★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 2/10

expensive as I live in London, but the hours we worked didn't really allow us to socialise

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

london's always a fun night out

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

★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 1/10

nothing organised by work

In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

it was great as I some really awesome people working at Enterprise, but if you work for the company and get told you will be working at an airport branch you may aswell kiss your social life goodbye as you will be working over 55 hours a week and work really rough hours (like 5am or til midnight). Otherwise its really good company to network from and meet some really good people.
