The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a lovely team, office and department who are very willing to help out and provide a valuable insight into JP Morgan and HR.
With work experience/internships, you always feel a slight burden when you first start. But the team here were so welcoming, friendly and approachable that that feeling quickly went. I have genuinely never been in such a nice working environment where you are trusted to do the work set. Now nearing the end of my internship, I feel valued by the team!
My manager has been fantastic. He is very aware of the work I do and helps me to achieve my objectives. My manager also has really helped with focusing my development and providing useful feedback and advice.
Some days were incredibly busy but I love such an intense environment and thrive in a pressured environment. It was never too much as such because the team were so supportive and ensured I was ok when having a very busy day.
They were very flexible - I was given the responsibility I felt was appropriate. Very supportive of the work I did and helpful to ensure I fulfill responsibilities given to me.
Incredibly useful skills and training. These will help with my final year at University and with future jobs. My Excel skills have improved and just my general use of a Computer. I also feel more confident since starting this internship as I have been in some difficult and challenging situations where I have been able to respond effectively and professionally.
The Company
Very friendly atmosphere - everyone gets on with their work but there is still talking and interaction between employees and colleagues which is refreshing to witness.
Incredibly well organized - events (formal and informal), socials and networking events were very well organized and communication was great!
I really felt that all the members of staff I interacted with wanted to help me develop my skills and get the most out of the Internship as possible. They were so patient.

I would absolutely love a job within the organization. I have loved working here and love the environment. I have learnt so much within 10 weeks and would love to continue this development within the Graduate Programme.
The Culture
Very good social scene - people went for drinks informally and then there were formal socials which were fantastic and a real opportunity to network.
I lived at home during the internship and the commute cost about £900 for the 10 weeks. Socialising was reasonably priced - it was what you'd expect for London and surrounding areas.

The only opportunity I got involved in outside of work was the JP Morgan Corporate challenge - was very well organized and lots of fun! Really good to be able to do it with my team - was a great bonding exercise.
