    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I get a chance to know other interns very well. The time we spent together allowed us to build a bond between each other.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of leaving, considering the fact that the office is in the city center is not very bad. I lived so close, that I was able to walk to work everyday. The cost of the socializing was also quite good. A lot of our socializing events were initiated by the HR team, which allowed to decrease the cost of socializing in the city.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I believe the events organized by the HR allowed to get to know the Nighlife quite well. In case, when someone wanted to party a little bit more there is a party part of the city nearby.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • A lot. We were attending weekly football games. Moreover we had a lot of outside of work events with another interns.

    5/5
