The Role
Really enjoyable, great people!
My team were all really nice and helpful towards me.
My manager and team leaser were always on hand and willing to help me.
We had a really busy period in the mmiddle of the day to meet our deadline.
I was given quite a lot of responsibility on the main daily task.
The skills I learnt will be beneficial in any future career, including understanding of the financial sector, technical skills and soft skills.
The Company
Everyone was very friendly and chatty. There were not as many work nights out as I expected.
We had training days in Bournemouth which was great and the internship was very well structured with overview presentaions.
I have been given lots of on the job training and also provided with online training courses to complete.
