About You
I enjoyed every part of it. We got some really valuable inside information about the industry and business.
All members of staff were extremely nice and helpful. We were treated as equals. You could really tell that they were interested in giving us the best opportunity possible
I've got a lot of support from the company. They were happy to answer any of my questions either about the business or give me advice about my future employment
The information I got during this week changed my perspective of the workplace. I feel like I will be more prepared for any of my future positions because of the skills I have developed during this week.
The Company
Although they had a few hiccups, generally it was nicely paced. The day was always jam packed and fun. Usually, the day would involve insight information and work shadowing.
We had a very friendly atmosphere between the students partaking in the spring week and the staff. Everyone was extremely pleasant to talk to and fun.
You could really see that Barclays investment into the tech industry. The accommodation was provided to us in a very nice hotel. And generally, every single speaker we had, had done a brilliant job.
Work shadowing sessions really helped us understand what it is like to work in a tech industry.
Barclays values were mentioned almost every day, and it the atmosphere of the whole week was a proof that they are keeping to their values.
I knew my interests before coming here, but this spring week, helped me strengthen my desire to work in a tech industry
Everything Else
We had a networking evening where we could talk with people from all aspects of the tech part of Barclays
We've spent a good time and found out a lot of interesting stuff.
