    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Great job to work in but I would prefer a job personally that always has work and not any lengthy periods of no work. It is the nature of consultancy I guess.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Graduates etc would go out for drinks every now and then.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Very expensive being in Surrey. I would advise looking else where for accommodation.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Graduates etc would go out for drinks every now and then. London is only an hour away, so travelling to there is fine for a night out.

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

    • Yes. Extra activities and clubs were available from rock climbing to football etc.

    5/5
