    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I worked in two offices. the first was with a team of fun people who got on very well so was very lively. The other was a larger office with people who were less integrated. this was a bit more dull.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • generally well but my managers personally felt a bit too distant and out of contact. I would always have to contact them and never felt like they were checking in. I feel this is due to the large amount of managers i had (4 in total outside of my projects).

    3/5

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • i socialised with work colleagues fairly often, arranging nights out as well as just casual drinks and dinner. there was also weekly football matches which were good fun. I feel it depends on the group that you are with though as the company is so spread out across the contry that you may have few grads/interns nearby

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

    • I was based in Beeston and lived at home so i cant comment on the living costs. the area is fairly average costs outside of london.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nottingham has a great nightlife and a good student population.

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

    • very much depends on who you are working with
