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

    • Unsurprisingly expensive, but that's not going to put me off working in central London

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Limitless, opportunities galore.

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

    • Constant opportunities, and if you went looking there were even more behind the scenes. The company made a lot of effort to ensure that staff had opportunities to enjoy themselves.
