    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I felt like I got to know the firm and that makes me want to work for them. I loved what I saw and I enjoyed my time very much. I would love to join their 2018 graduate programme after I finish my Master's degree.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, I felt we were given all the opportunities to make friends during our training and it helped a great deal to see everyone again at the end of the internship.

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

    • I lived just south of London which is not very cheap but cheaper than London - which was a great plus.

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

    • I do not have any experience with the nightlife in the area.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I personally did not have the time due to internship commitments but as a full time employee I could do more.
