The Role
An exciting and an enjoyable environment to work in coupled with the very friendly team members enabled me to settle down well.
Constant praises for the work I provided them helped to boost my confidence and felt valued.
Manager was very friendly and supportive. Took time out from his daily work to provide explanation on areas of banking which I was not aware of previously.
Manager made sure I was kept busy at all times.
I was responsible for creating a template which became instrumental later on during the restement process.
The excel knowledge I have gained will undoubtedly be very useful.
The Company
Had Lunch and learn session with directors from other areas in finance every week.
Very appealing. Great atmosphere around the floor and very friendly group of people.
The Culture
Went for drinks with the other interns every week.
Costs are quite high in Central London. However, going for drinks once a week was perfect.
Very Lively.
Not much.
