The Role
Very enjoyable placement working across a breadth of Lloyds Capital market products
Made to feel at home in the team right away and given real responsibility allowing me to add value
Training took place within the first week, also bloom berg training and also had a buddy who you could ask questions to, A line manager who was very accessible who you could ask any questions the buddy could not answer
Very very busy, CMAG was a very fast paced environment and because you were working across a breath of capital markets products, you always had something to do. Overall- very busy!
Lean deal teams meant analysts (treated like an analyst) were given real responsibility and able to contribute vastly on deals whether by modelling, writing credit papers and EWOBS etc. Also worked on market updates and also pricing bonds
Having studied a Quantiative Methods degree, Working in CMAG was very useful and in the skills gained, especially within finance, would be very helpful with dissertation topic =.
The Company
Young team and thus a very open but hard working office who were there for you and also one you could relate to. Pub visited most fridays allowing you to relax and also get to know the team better
IT set up, bloomberg set up and also training where we understood what the different teams did, In terms of organisation and in relation to other places I've interned at, it was very good
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Offered a product and markets graduate offer after the internship
The Culture
London and so very busy . In addition put up in accomodation with other interns and so created a close knit environment.
London andf thus very expensive in relation to other areas I worked in
