The Role
Was good fun, the work was interesting
Sometimes did, but sometimes felt fairly ignored
The gave good feedback whenever I asked for it
A lot of time I had little to do
Due to legal barriers, not a huge amount
I learnt a great deal, and will use this in my academic and employment careers
The Company
Trading floor, so pretty exciting
They split it up fairly well, but the rotations could have involved more choice on the interns part
Had decent technical training
Company Parties/Events
got a job
The Culture
very good fun, many nights out
Centre of London, so expensive
City of London, so not Camden but still pretty good, if expensive
very little time
