    The Culture

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

    • Aside from the company socials and events there was not alot of socialising amongst the interns. Everyone was very serious about making a good impression and ultimately getting the job!

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The office is in the city of london so it was incredibly expensive but we were paid for our time there so it was manageable.

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

    • Being central london the nightlife was very good but relatively expensive and the crowd seemed older and more mature than other places.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were socials, charity events and a couple of sports events so really plenty to get stuck into!
