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

    • I don't think there is a lot of room for me to join the company when i leave as I worked in a declining market and the company has a flat structure. I would like to experience working at a start up or a more risk taking company.

    2/5

    • Yes the placement students live together and we all got on really well.
