The Role
The Company
Everyone is very friendly, helpful and socicable in and outside of work.
The riole was very well set up and the work load built up as the year went on to allow me to learn new skills and cope with the pressure as best as possible.
I went on a couple of courses including proof reading, and attended many reasearch days and team building days with the department and other agencies which I found really useful.

The Culture
There were lots of placement students at McDonalod's- a few of us lived together and always organised nights out to socialise with eachother.
Living costs weren't extremely expensive, travel is the one thing that eats your wages working in East Finchley! It is easy enought to socialise and have a cheap night out in East Finchley or in central London so this hasn't really been an issue.
There isn't much nightlife in East Finchley apart from a couple of pubs! But it's not far from central London.
