    The Company

    • When the office was full, it was fun and friendly but could be times with only a few people around and was very quiet

    4/5

    • Other interns in different areas seemed to have more to do and better supervisors so maybe just unlucky with my manager

    • Had the option to do training courses which I took in a wide range of topics

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

    • They offer a separate assessment scheme for placement students, increasing the chance of future employment

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • They recommended accommodation where the majority of the undergrads lived so was very sociable

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

    • Living costs were average but socialising was cheap

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Coventry isn't the best but surrounding areas offer more

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • If you organised it yourself amongst other interns it was good but the company did nothing

    2/5
