  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing, I hope to receive an offer. The programme has definitely spurred me on to wanting to work at the bank permanently.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Absolutely, the 2017 class really made an effort to interact with each other outside of the workplace which made it even more enjoyable.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home so I didn't have to pay rent, but I believe other interns paid roughly £200 pw to live near the office.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was fun, but I have grown up in London. I believe for interns that did not, they thoroughly enjoyed it.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was the corporate social responsibility day on which everyone was involved in a charity activity away from the office.
