    • The Bank invests a lot in its interns starting from a 1 week training at the start of the internship. The people in the teams are very willing to help out where an intern does not understand and there were weekly learning sessions where we got insight into a broad range of topics such as thematic investing or cyber security

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Interns got together a lot, whether it was at company organised events, talking about whose staffing was more complicated over dinner or getting wild at Friday night parties

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

    • Socialising was pretty much okay because we were very well paid as interns, which afforded us a different king of lifestyle from the average person Most people did not live around the office. Rent around the office was probably not the most economic option

    4/5

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

    • Absolutely! there were many events both company organized or company affiliated which we were encouraged to get involved in. I took advantage of them
