  Inside Buzz allows graduates to find out what it's really like to work for the UK's best
employers by gathering quotes from actual employees. Year-round, they survey
employees and ask them for feedback on company culture, interviews, salaries,
hours, quality of work, diversity, training, relations, relations with management and
more.... Inside Buzz differs from other career websites and publications in that their
information comes directly from those in the know (the employees!) and that they
do not package any of their quotes. They simply present the data collected from
surveys in a friendly, easy to browse format, both online and in print. Moreover,
companies do not pay for inclusion on Inside Buzz. This ensures that the
information they publish about a specific company is impartial.
The concept of employee reviews has really caught on and 50+ big name employers
(the likes of KPMG, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Deloitte, Slaughter and May,
Grant Thornton to name a few) have already sent the survey to their employees.

The Buzz Guide to the Top Law Firms is out now and is available
here.

higher education institution anywhere in the world. The 2010 Challenge had over
12,000 students in 60 countries competing!

"Students have first hand experience with real clients and real budgets to get real
results. Is there a better way to gain experience with the real world?"

How it works:-

Any professor at any higher education institute registers a student team.
Students can be from any class, graduate or undergraduate, regardless of discipline.

Student teams receive US$200 of free online advertising with Google AdWords and
then work with local businesses to devise effective online marketing campaigns.

Teams outline a strategy, run a campaign, assess their results and provide the
business with recommendations to further develop their online marketing. Teams
submit their reports and are judged by a panel of independent academics from all
over the world.

Advantages of the Challenge:-

This is not a simulation. Students gain real-world experience with real clients. At the
same time, clients benefit from free advertising and Internet consulting. Google
