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

    • If you do impress, you can get fast tracked to an assessment centre. No jobs are guaranteed, as far as I am aware of, as there are many interns every year.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a great social scene, though there is no formal society set up. You get to meet other interns through various situations, e.g. intern comms, lunch at the canteen, etc.

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

    • Great variety of bars and clubs. Student nights also popular as two universities are located in Bristol.

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

    • There were many opportunities, though they would have to be organised by yourself or friends. Bristol has activities for anyone.
