Rated 10/10

The scheme is very well organised and our 'champion' put a lot of effort into making sure we were supported.

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

Rated 7/10

Consulting is a heavy work load generally and there was plenty to do. A lot of my time was spent formatting documents but if you ask for interesting work you will get it.

Rated 8/10

I asked for responsibility and was given some, the more responsibility you have the harder you work but the more interesting your day is!

My degree has benefited from having some real world experience.

The Organisation

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

Working in the London office is great, at the clients site totally depends on the client.

Very well run.

They went to town on us, we were given a budget to spend on our own social and the induction week included an away day which was good fun. There were about 4 paid for socials during the 7 weeks.

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

• Subsidised/Company Gym
• International Travel
• Above 25 days holiday

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

Other Information

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Terrific!

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

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

London is so expensive but there are a lot of socials which are paid for!

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

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

There were loads of nights out.

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

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 3/10

In consulting it is hard as you are usually away from the office.

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?

I had a much better time than I expected, the work itself is not riveting but the people are great.
