    • Everyone is happy to chat with eachother and share stories. Good atmosphere without being too distracting.

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

    • I was invited to attend any meeting or event that would benefit me and there were introductory meetings set up for us with all of the different company divisions so that we could learn more about the business area.

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

    • We are reassured that as long as we make a good impression as an intern, we will be offered a role on the graduate scheme.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, all the interns tend to get together in the evenings to socialise.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Quite an expensive area, although great connections from being in central London, and lots of local socialisation places.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Very enthusiastic, although there is so much choice it's sometimes difficult to know where to go.

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

    • Lots of opportunities to engage in community affairs. I have already been a part of two charity events and am currently organising a trip to the theatre for the other interns.
