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

    • I was able to really develop myself through the intern training programme and through line manager feedback in catch up meetings and also formal performance review meetings.

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

    • There is no graduate scheme but some previous interns have returned at entry level roles so anything is possible!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes with 49 interns this year and even more next year you are bound to have a great time!

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

    • Expensive but so much choice!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • A member of our HR team organised a charity run which some of us took part in which was fun and rewarding. There is also a football team but apart from that not much is advertised.
