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

    • The company is not one i am looking to have a career in as not relevant to my studies but has provided me with the skills necesary to suceed in the areas i want to. so although i have enjoyed the placement and learned lots it has not got the nature of jobs i am looking for in the long term.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • the social side is amazing. with table football and a TV in the canteen with sofas it is a very relaxed enironment and everyone is looking to socialise especially after work with clubs such as running.

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

    • being near london the cost of socialising is very high but not unbearable. drinks are fairly expensive but food is very reasonable. i did not live near the area so cannot comment on the prices of living near the area.

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

    • there are a few good clubs in the imidiate proximity but only 20 mins from central london to enjoy the nightlife in that area is very beneficial. great bars and pubs in the area as well meaning a social is easily arranged and nobody is dissapointed.

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

    • There were a few clubs such as running that meant you could socialise with activities after work but not that many range of clubs due to there only being 250 employees. employees are always up for trying new things so if you wanted you could find someone to do activities with.
