  • Almost everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was organised very well, we were treated as a graduate. However, resourcing was a bit slow to put me onto jobs.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I was allowed to sit the same training exams as the rest of the graduates.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Unfortunately I didn't pass all of the exams required to re-join as a graduate - however they provide other opportunities that I will consider applying for.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • My intake of placement 西瓜视频s and graduates were good friends and would spend time together when working and studying as we were together from the start and through all of our training which was great!

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I lived at home which worked out perfectly. However I was commuting at least an hour each way which put fuel costs up for me.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I didn't go out in the nightlife and so I wouldn't know. Generally I heard good things, but most people went out in a different area nearby.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were many social activities while I was there. Unfortunately most of them were in London and so too far for me to travel.
