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

    • I felt very well trained and learnt as much about Financong as I possibly could have. We were well trained and I felt up for the challenge from day one, as we were very well trained.

    The Culture

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