    4/5

    4/5

    The Company

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

  • On the first day I was given a plan of my time there and it did follow that seamlessly.

    3/5

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would have no hassles about working there again. I enjoyed it enormously. If they offer a job i will be taking it!

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I was on polite terms with a few people in my office but I didn't get close to anyone really which was a shame!

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • My parent's live a short bus ride away from Cheltenham so I lived at home which was cheap as chapstick!

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I mainly went out in my hometown which is decent for nightlife and I've heard that Cheltenham is alright as well.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are a lot of sports events to participate in if you're into that sort of thing.

    4/5
