  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • From day one the internship was incredibly well run with a great variety of activities planned to supplement the on-the-job learning

    The Culture

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

    4/5

    • There were a number of bars and pubs within close vicinity

    • This was a reflection of the time I spent with the company, had I been there for longer I would have had a much greater range of activities available to me.
