    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • future employment prospects within the organization are very appealing and common as you have many chances for mobility within the company, division and country. The culture of the company motivates you to leave your comfort zone and experience new things to try to develop yourself and improve in the company.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There was a very good social scene within the company and the interns specifically. As interns we had many events organised by human resources and also individually organised where we would get to know each other more and build relationships. Also individual teams had events socially for team building purposes.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of living and socialising is pretty high as it is placed in Victoria, Central London. So the food would be a little bit expensive and the travel costs as well because you have to take the train to most places. If you go for a night out you may have to spend quite a bit there because most places in London are a bit overpriced.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The nightlife is very good as there are many clubs available and there are also other things. So you have a lot of choice to choose from whether you want a quiet night out or go clubbing and listen to a specific type of music. The only problem I would say is that it is a bit expensive but if you don’t go out too often it should be more than fine.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are other things that you could get involved with. There is a long list but things that I done were volunteering to help fix pathways in a park and make it safer for children to view the nature, football at Hyde park with the team and the other interns and just in general going out to have fun and get to know each other more.

    5/5
