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

    • they are looking really positive. I have had follow up conversations and am in the process of applying for a graduate role. There is good movement between jobs, whilst I did a placement in HR, I am looking to move across to consulting, this is something that Atos are keen on, internal movement.

    5/5

    The Culture

    • Whilst I did make a few friends with people on the graduate scheme, the new intake of interns was only happening as I was leaving so I was unfortunate with my timing.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Expensive in comparison to where I am living in Leeds. This is just what you should expect to the further down south you go and the closer to London.There are places that you can eat and drink for cheap, you just have to look a a bit harder.
