The Role
Enjoyable experience, huge learning curve and lots of work to do once you settle in.
Felt valued by my colleagues, especially given the gap in knowledge.
Good amount of support and guidance was given. Although some of this didn't align with the feedback I received at the end.
First week or so was quiet but after that very busy for the remainder of the internship. Happened to be a busy summer in the team I was in.
Responsibility naturally grew as time went on.
Definitely will help in the future.
The Company
Collegiate, friendly atmosphere.
Internship was well structured, starting with a week of training and then a few socials / feedback meetings.
One week training at the start with all the other interns, followed by on the job training from the team.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Travel loan
Appealing, chance to convert the internship into a full time position. I believe conversion rates are lower than other banks.
The Culture
Yes, particularly in the first week during training. Interns met up on Fridays when possible.
Central London so prices are high as you can imagine.
Central London so vibrant nightlife.
The internship involves a charity competition which interns work on in groups.
