    • Really friendly and happy- everyone happy to help or answer questions

    4/5

    • Was very well organised- perhaps downside were too many "extra" events such as a number of women events which did exhibit diminishing marginal returns

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Very high- both in terms of my work and technical skills, but also personal development, particularly confidence

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There is a lot of re-shuffling going on given new management, but hopefully this provides potential for incoming analysts

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes- a number of social events, as well as going out for drinks with the teams

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

    • Fairly expensive, but this is just to be expected working in london

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

    • It's London...

    5/5
