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

    • I've had to seek out my own training although it's been a useful experience. A lot of preperation has gone into my placement though and it shows that managers/colleagues have worked hard to give me a good experience.

    • London is not the cheapest of places to live, costing me nearly £500 per month in rent! But it is one of the best!

    • So much to do... so much to see, you'll never get bored here.

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

    • Apart from those arranged by myself/other colleagues, we're going out on a regular basis: go-karting, theme parks (Thorpe Park, etc), cinema, museums, London Eye, football matches.
