The Role
Team were very nice and intellegent people, great organisation to work for with great facilities at the office I was located.
Got on very well with everyone, everyone makes time for you and gives you work when requested. Any help you need you will find that everyone will be willing to help in some way. Personally everyone was friendly also.
Line manager was alwyas on hand to help. Felt like i was top rpiority even though I probably wasn't.
Quite often had no work to do. You can usually see to that by asking for work but found myself bored on occaision. When I did have work it was relatively important and would be used by the business.
All of the work was supervised and work which was completed to be included in business documents would all be checked first but it was useful work, not just making the coffee!
Invaluable experience to work in this organisation and with these people.
The Company
Everyone is hard at work but still has time for a chat. Occaisional team social events.
A little confusion at time but in my experience it couldn't have gone much better. Perhaps a little more communication at the start to help you understand what you will be doing and organisational help if you are moving to a new location.
At the start of the internship you and your line manager discuss your objectives set by the business then talk about any personal developments you feel are worthwhile working on. Throughout the ten weeks you are encouraged to partake in activities to reach these personal objectives. We met with a regional director, who has a very busy schedule, as she was very skilled in a personal development area that I had set, fo a masterclass on this area. People take time to help you and they want to see you do well.

Definatley a company I would work with. Comparitively high graduate job offer rates for interns.
The Culture
The company seem to hire like minded and good people so most people got on well and spent a lot of time with eachother, going out at weekends etc.
Great choice of bars and clubs in a relatively small area.
Yes, we were advised of different committees before the internship that range from sport to... other things that I cant remember. But there was always opportunities to get involved in things and throughout the 10 weeks there were 3 social events run by RBS that allowed you to take part in fun activities and socialise and network more.
