Associate Relationship Manager Review

I hugely enjoyed my internship at LBG. It is something I would highly recommend and I would love to work for the company following my experience.

The team that I worked with in London was hugely welcoming from Day 1. I socialised a lot with them and felt genuinely respected and valued by all.

The senior manager in my office and my line manager together ensured that I always had the support and guidance I needed. I also had an unofficial mentor and grad buddy both of whom were exceptionally warm and helpful.

I had a good amount of work and proactively created work for myself but I would have been given some more tasks purely to gain a deeper insight into the group's operations.

Due to the nature of the work that my team was conducting it was difficult to be given much personal responsibility but everyone ensured that I could assist them whenever it was appropriate.

I developed a number of skills during my time at LBG including increased confidence in networking, team management (leading my team of interns in a challenge), business etiquette and a professional banking qualification.

Perhaps it was my office personally but the atmosphere/vibe was very friendly and approachable. I felt the confidence to sit next to anyone and ask them what they were doing and all my colleagues were very fun. The banter was top quality with the people at my desk and everyone had a motivated by friendly attitude in their day to day workings.

Periodic webinars/meetings designed for interns ensured that any questions we had were answered by HR. The guidance given to my line manager was perfect meaning that the internship moved seamlessly through the weeks.

The firm invested greatly in me personally with many training and development events. This was brilliant as it gave a whole other dimension to my internship.

Fully respectable, engaging and innovative organisation that I would love to work for in the future. My experience on this internship contributed fully positively towards my experience at the group.

Good amongst colleagues as they were very welcoming and keen to invite me for drinks/lunch with them. OK amongst the interns, partly due to the fact that there weren't many in my office, but also yes...

Very expensive to be expected in London. Managed to find cheaper places to eat/socialise as the weeks went on but was still quite spenny.

London is always popping off, mad nights, good crack, lots of dancing. Cargo always delivers.

There was an intern challenge run over the 10 week stretch which was a brilliant way to socialise with peers. As well as this there were constantly advertised days out and group activities.
