    The Company

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

    • Everyone has the opportunity to land a place on the graduate scheme come the end of their ten weeks which is a really valuable opportunity!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was an early careers society that ran social events for people to attend as well as the potential for interns to get together for social events.

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

    • Welwyn is fairly expensive but a lot of people live in the Finsbury Park area which is slightly cheaper and Hatfield is a student town so has good rent prices.

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

    • It was slightly out of the way because it wasn't based in London. However, you could get to London in about 25 minutes on the train so if you really wanted to go out on the weekends then the opportunity was certainly there!

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were lots of sporting events and social events you could join in with.
