The Role
Had a great time
The responsibility I was given and the readiness of my colleagues to help me made me feel very valued.
The whole team and the manager were always willing to help/advise.
Always stuff to do but still a very good work/life balance.
Plenty: got very involved with the "business as usual" for the desk
It will definitely help me in terms of working towards my future goals of a career in finance.
The Company
Although everyone takes the job seriously the atmosphere is extremely laid back
Every intern seemed to know what they were there to do, the events were very well run as well.
Plenty of training programmes
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
All signs are promising towards an offer for the graduate scheme
The Culture
Lots of social and networking events were organised for us
Bournemouth: cheap living costs
Good amount of clubs/bares
Some chances for tennis and 5-a-side football
