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

    • Although if you are good at your job you are esstentially put onto a hot list which HR goes through when hiring new employees, there is no grad scheme, no guarntee of employment after university and junior postions dont open up that often considering the amount of interns that are employed by the company.
