  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was intern representative and it was great. I also had to present every week my results to my team and I will probably write an article for the EAGE.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It is for life. All I learned during my internship will always be useful. People in SGR are really skilled and expert so the quality demanded is high.

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

    • I would like to work again within the compnay, sadly budget cuts in Geosciences don't allow a lot of hiring.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was very good in general. However, some interns are young and a bit immature sometimes.

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

    • Cambridge is very expensive, sometimes even more than some places in London!It limits the time socialising.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I heard it is good but I didn't go to any clubs, first because I am not that interested and second I preferred to chill.

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

    • There were opportunities however the city is small so the choices are limited.
