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

    • I'll apply, but due to the company philosophy towards engineering, it's more of a last resort for me.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Towards the start, yes. But it tailed off rather quickly.
