    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • A fun yet hard-working culture that I think you'd rarely find elsewhere in the finance industry. The culture of Aon is one of its best features, and I would say everyone there has the perfect balance between making it an enjoyable place to work and one that offers real development for interns.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well - the lunch and learns and social impact projects are well-organised and offer the perfect platform to improve skills.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Invested a good amount - the team especially invest a lot of time and effort into trying to make you feel a part of the team.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • very appealing - as I said I don't think there are many better places to work within this industry.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • All students and colleagues would go for an after work drinks usually around once a week.

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

    • I lived at home and traveled in - fairly expensive for a travel card in to London, whilst food and drink in the City also aren't cheap.

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

    • Brilliant nightlife - the clubs and bars around are the best around.

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

    • There were some opportunities although I would have liked to have seen more.
