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

    • A clear career path is given for you, and the promotions are very acheivable. However there are few jobs available in 'administration roles' (sideways movements)

    4/5

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

    • No. I was the only placement student in my branch.
