The Organisation

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

People had a tendency to keep their nose down, but there were a few organised social events during the year.

8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

This was definitely not the first year they've done this.

9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

Although I had a direct manager to report to, I wish there was more of an opportunity to stay on in the company, which would perhaps reflect in their investment.

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

• Flexi Time
• Company Parties/Events
• Staff Sales/Staff Shop

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

★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 4/10

As they need an approval to come from the US, it is difficult to create a position for someone, even if they fit in with the team.

Other Information

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

Yes, usually up for something after work.

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

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Rated 6/10

It's London, so expect central London prices

Rated 8/10

Always something to do, whether with your work colleagues or not.

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

Volunteer days, film premieres, pub - but all pretty sporadic

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?

Take advantage of as many perks as possible while you're here, as it's only for a year
