    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was given a very limited amount of responsibility. The work I carried out was very rarely seen by clients and involved mostly internal projects.

    • Working in a professional environment, you very quickly pick up different skills from talking to partners to more technical skills on the computer.

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

    • I have been offered a job with the firm.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • After work drinks and events were organised most evenings, organised by both the summer internship team and interns. All the interns got on really well across each of the service lines.

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

    • London is expensive!

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

    • Apart from a few bars/pubs, the nightlife around the area wasn't great. Being based in London however means that there is potential for plenty of good nights around the city.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • As we were only with the firm briefly, activities outside of the office were limited.
