    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have applied for the grad scheme but it is very competitive. I think there should be a push from earlier on in your placement and it should be seen as an actual fast trak - at the moment they say it's a fast trak but there's not part to it that you jump just because you've done a placement here

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was in IP unite which supported all industrial placement students and we organised many events

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

    • Very expensive because I live in London

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Just pubs, but they were nice and we could pop into central if we wanted

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I went out for drinks and dinner a lot but not many activities

    3/5
