About You
I really enjoyed it and felt like I learned a lot. I will be leaving with a better understanding of banking and the divisions within it.
Everyone really emphasised how smart and proud of ourselves we should be for getting a placement. there was always time made for questions and seniors really wanted to help.
a lot. could always ask questions.

The Company
it was really good. every day started with a speaker from a senior person within the bank. the days were jam packed with different speakers from different divisions
Everyone, both spring interns and the Barclays staff were really friendly. When shadowing, different departments had different atmospheres. the sales and trading floors were very fast paced and intense when around busy traders.
they gave us lots of speakers explaining the divisions and provided networking events for us. a lot of investment
a lot better than I knew before. but of course, you still haven't worked there so can't really know.
very well. everyone is nice
useful. I want to go into sales and my least favourite day content was the sales day, but I haven't let that deter me
Everything Else
definitely. many people met up with employees of the firm outside of hours or during free hours of the insight
very good
yes. had a networks fair on the first day which explained the main networks.
yes
