    The Company

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

    • The office had a really friendly atmosphere and therefore I had lunch with all sorts of different groups and went for drinks regularly with my team so got to know them and the other interns really well.

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

    • Everything was very well organised although there was a little more down time than I would have liked!

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

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

    • I was offered a job along with some of the other interns I worked with on the merit of our work on the internship.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Organised social events at least weekly and informal pub trips organised individually. We all got on so well that we had a big night out together on our last day!

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

    • Central London is never cheap but you quickly pick up the better value places to go and the pay you get reflects the cost of living.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • This is biased obviously as central London has an excellent nightlife with so many options to chose from.

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

    • Lots of opportunities exist to volunteer and be involved in other activities but this is a bit harder as an intern as you're only there for 6 weeks but when you join for real the opportunities are endless.
