    The Culture

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

    • All the finance interns went out every Friday, either to bars or for dinner. It was really good to get to know people in a social environment as well as a working one.

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

    • I lived at home so zero cost, but drinks in bars are fairly expensive. Thursdays are the cheapest days to go out!

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

    • We never really went out clubbing, but there were a good array of bars.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • HR put on a lot of events after work so we could gain further knowledge. If you become a full time employee there are more opportunities such as joining sports teams and networks etc.
