    4/5

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It gave me a taste of how geophysics is used in real life, which motivated me to continue with geophysics in my studies.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Evidently an office in which everyone worked extremely hard, but also an open and friendly atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Clearly a event that has been in place and running well for many years. I was put in contact with the intern I would be following and we organised the day amongst ourselves.

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

    • Not applicable, I was only there for one day.

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

    • 3/5

    • I would love to work for this company. The job is intellectually challenging and the working conditions seem very pleasant.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?

    • On the internship programme as well as the graduate challenger years I have heard that the social life is excellent, and that there are many activities to help everyone to make friends.

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

    • It was in Sunbury, so I hazard a guess that it's an expensive area (not that I had chance to test this on my day.)

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

    • I don't know, I was only there for one day.

    0/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Apparently there are many.
