  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Relaxed and chatty. Sometimes there weren't many people in the office as lots of people would attend the sam events, but even then it was a fun environment. Everyone is really nice which makes the atmosphere a pleasant one to work in.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Brilliant. Great communication from day one and knew exactly what was happening before we started. Lots of support throughout the year always available and they really took the undergraduate programme seriously.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We had compulsory Excel and presentation training, but we were also offered further training throughout the year if we wanted it. The company really want you to do well and have the best experience possible while on placement.

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

    • It depends if there is a job available when you finish uni, but they run a form of post grad programme

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Brilliant social scene. With 90 undergrads it felt like uni but with more money! Lots of nights out and weekends away. This part of placement was such a massive part of making it so good.

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

    • Luton is fairly cheap to live in and socialise in, especially as it is so close to London.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are a few places to go in Luton which are really cheap, but you can go into St Albans or into London really easily for a more sophisticated night!

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

    • There were sports teams that played weekly, but you could always set up more activites with the new undergrads!
