The Role
The experience has been incredible, to say the least.
I was given a lot of responsibility and support and felt extremely valued throughout.
My team leader ensured that I was more than well taken care of and was approachable for anything and everything.
Pretty busy, but in a very good way!
It started of rather slowly, but as the team got more comfortable working with me and trusted me, I had a lot of responsibility by the end!
Extremely useful - time management, organisation, excel skills, research skills, news searches, professional interaction. The skills I developed are totally transferable and useful in all aspects of life.
The Company
Fantastic!
I don't think I have ever heard of or experience a more well structured internship.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
There is potential for the internship to be converted into a full-time role.
The Culture
Yes! I went to a cricket match, garden party, BBQ and may drinks evenings with the team.
London is a pretty expensive city....
It's in London city, so very happening but not much time to enjoy the night life!
Completely - I attended the a run as part of the Rothschild team, used the gym and actually did a lot outside of work.
