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

    • I got a job offer and subsequently decided I would like to move office so had another interview in that office and got the job there. The internship gives you a big advantage as you have a lot to talk about!

    The Culture

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

    • There was however, in my office there were only 3 of us on this intake. It would have been better if they had included us in the earlier, larger intake.

    • I lived here already so could stay at home.

    • It's good in Bristol however I didn't really use it during my internship.
