Pros

They work on lots of large projects across many sectors. Have good corporate events. The London office has a free bar paid for by the partners, 6-8 on thursdays and fridays.

Cons

I was managed very poorly. I was given a laptop and told to do some training activities on their intranet. Once I'd learnt how to measure drawings on CAD Measure those were the majority of jobs I was given, long and arduous jobs. Learning nothing, just doing the same thing every day, clicking and transferring the measures to Excel. A placement student is there to learn, not to be used as just another cog in the engine.
