    The Company

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

    • I was very rarely in the office, so I can't really give a fair rating but when I was in the office, everyone was extremely friendly and it genuinely felt like an interesting place to work.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I had a good set of clients whilst I was there and there was never a day where I did not have anything to do. In that case I would say that the internship was set up very well!

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The other interns often met up regularly after work for a drink or so which was a great way to finish the week.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Based in London the cost of living is fairly dear. Socialising was no more expensive than university in all honesty!

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

    • I had the chance to sample the local delights of London and I have to say that I was not disappointed.

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

    • I received a number of sports emails whilst I was there for instance: pool events, go karting and at the same time the firm also had a rugby and football team in the London league.
