The Role
I loved the team I worked in and the work I was given throughout my internship.
they were always so lovely and supportive.
My line manager has been brilliant always checking in with weekly 1-2-1s.
I was quite quiet at the beginning but since week 3/4 I have had full days of meetings and tasks to complete.
A large amount for an intern I feel very grateful for the level of responcibility.
No overly relevant to my degree, however the skills I have learnt here will be skills I will use in my professional career for the rest of my life.
The Company
Great working environment!
Well organised by my team and line manager however the graduate recruitment team's organisement was sometimes lacking although generally very good.
I was allowed to learn a coding programme at my request and any resources I wanted were available to me.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
I would love to work for Barclays in the future.
The Culture
Very good when things happened, although I would like to have gone to more work events.
VERY EXPENSIVE !
Plenty of bars around the area
I am unsure about this one, Im sure there may be some but I did not try any.
