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

    • High percentage of placement students who return, and so far have thought a really good company to work for.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Over the summer, there was something organised by HR most weeks, and something organised most nights by other students. This meant you got to meet all the other students, and now can organise things independently.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Expensive but good salary helped to make this more affordable.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • So much to do in London.

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

    • Lots of outside of work events organised by the firm, and if you have something to go to, my team would let me leave early.
