    The Company

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

    • It was organised quite well and my line manager filled in the rest.

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

    • The induction was very expensive and the time that people put in me was a lot but we did not have an end of placement event which would have been nice.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Super appealing but they didn't take people with a 2:2 even if they did really well but they took everyone else, no matter how rubbish they were at their job.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Nope.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I have always lived in London so I am used to london prices but it's so much more expensive than everywhere else. The London allowance should be more as travel cost me a small fortune. Perhaps a travel card could be provided by the company.

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

    • As I worked in London but lived in the suburbs I couldn't get back home easily. Also, the interns didn't socialise together, I did not live in the provoided accomodation but apparently even that was dead.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • No, except for charity cahllenge events.
