    5/5

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The workplace culture is quite an open one and you don't really feel the management hierarchy sometimes. There is almost always something interesting going on, which varies from someone bringing in a cake they baked or pub outings on Friday.

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

    • It was great, I felt like I was there on a full-time job in terms of what was provided (email, desk, laptop, etc).

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

    • There was training (similar to training for graduates) at the beginning of the internship. I also had the opportunity to sit in some meetings relating to objectives setting and long term career opportunities.

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If given the opportunity I will work for them again.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Plenty of events going on, such as pub outings, free drinks, sports after work, etc.

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

    • London is expensive as always.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's in central London so it's definitely good, although I'm not much of a clubber.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I had the opportunity to play frisbee with some colleagues in a league. There seem to be plenty of different activities available but my internship was a bit too short to try the rest of them.
