The Role
I really enjoyed it, everyone was really friendly and open to helping me. Their was always something to do, obviously the first week was slow but that's because you have to learn how everything is done.
Definitely a lot, I was given work which actually went towards pitching to clients on a deal or in a meeting with senior colleagues. People also asked for my opinions in meetings so this definitely made me feel valued!
As much as I wanted, I was quite independent so tried to tackle stuff by myself first and then ask analysts for help but every time I was completely stuck, I just asked my manager and he showed me how to do something.
As much as I wanted to be, you could send an email around and get put on 5 deals or you could just stay working on one, its completely up to you and how eager you are.
As much as I could handle, sometimes they push you but that's only because they want to see how much you can take on. At all time we are given support so you never feel under pressure or scared of the work load.
These skills will definitely help me for a career in investment banking, I would love to work back at Lloyds, the culture is amazing.
The Company
It was really chilled. obviously if their was a deadline people would be under pressure but apart from that, its pretty relaxed.
Very good, we started with a big introduction event, met interns across the whole group and then met our managers and the following day, everything was structured.
We had online courses and training in different areas of the bank to attend during the internship sop this built up our further skills and knowledge in the industry,
