The Role
The experience itself was fantastic; the interns, the rotation scheme, and the work.
Most of the time. As valued as you can be as an intern!
Given support, but could have been better
Had a lot to do in comparison to other interns on trading desks.
Perfect amount.
Definitely life skills, in terms of interaction with people in a business environment and understanding now how to get a job! Not one bit for university, but why would it?
The Company
Was not on the trading floor, so not full on fun all the time, but it had its moments.
HR did a very good job on this front; events throughout, and always kept us in the loop.
Nice one week induction.
Financial Bonus
Didn't get a job.
The Culture
Great bunch of interns - reflecting the culture of RBS
East London!
London is London; some love it, som find it okay, some hate it... I tread somewhere in the middle. Shoreditch is a good night out every once in a while, not every week. And there's Jamie's of course...
Not shown to me beyond the intern events.
