    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my summer internship. The people I worked with were extremely helpful and nice. In addition to this, everyone around all areas was extremely available and I was able to meet them and get to know many different areas within the bank. The events organised for the summer interns by the HR department were great. There were many events during the summer internship where we had a lot of fun and we got the chance to meet really well all the other interns
