    The Company

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

    • There was only 3 of us in our team but we all had a close relationship. I was based in the Defence and National Security Basingstoke office and there were only 3 IPs based there but there were a lot of graduates and we all became a close group of friends.

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

    • The placement was quite slow to begin with as the Intern before stayed on for an extra 2 months so the work was spread out between 3 of us but after this we were given our own projects to lead.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    The Culture

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

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