    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I was the first student in the finance team and at first, felt a little isolated from the other students. This was rectified and the job evolved to a more meaningful placement.

  • 4/5

  • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • 5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The area the office is in does not lend itself to being social, most people live quite far away. We do however have a work football evening once a week which is great fun and a great opportunity to get to know colleagues outside of work.

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • 3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • 0/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • I joined sports clubs outside work and got involved in the local area which I would recommend to everyone as Hook is not a bustling city with any nightlife.

    4/5
