8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

The organisation of the placement was quite good overall. Given the size of the firm and the number of departments involved in the internship, it is incredible how well it worked. Sometimes there were miscommunications but in general it was clear and easy to understand what we were supposed to do.

9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

The firm invests hugely in each employee or intern. A lot of time is spend in training which is then put into practice later. This allows for great personal development which is something I really appreciate. Great organisation that really pushes its employees to learn more and grow within or outside of the current role.

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

The cost of living in London is incredibly high, but it is something that is well known and hard to avoid if you want to work in the London area. Overall, it was not that bad given and the quality of the room was quite good. Depending on what you are used to, it might come across as very expensive though.
