    • The company is looking to expand in the division that I was in and if you are willing to work hard they made a point of showing you that they would invest in you and give you any opportunity

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Was quite expensive as in London but no more than the rest of London

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • In the Canary Wharf area there are some good bars and then the rest of London has a very good night life

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were some opportunities but you were expected to find them yourself rather than being encouraged to do them
