The Role
Very helpful team. This 9 week internship was perfect to have a full insight of what IB can be.
The team was very nice and would provide constant feedback on your performance. I would know straight away whether or not I was doing a good job.
The staff was always very helpful, regarding any issue or question I had.
Very busy. Full days. I maybe wondered for 2 hours what to do during the whole internship.
You get as much as you ask for. This was the beauty of the internship
Very good to apply corporate finance and strategy theory learnt in class.
The Company
Very chill. I never felt stressed or too much pressure. People were always ready to help.
Everything was always c’lèse and well explained. I never was in doubt, good job.
Didn’t attend the training, but just the oral presentation workshop was very good and you could tell that the company is willing to invest in its employees
Company Parties/Events
There’s always a question about the health of the financial situation of the bank. But the senior employees did a good job at reassuring us for the future.
The Culture
Nice events and even made friends for weekend activities. Integration is easy
Shoreditch Good social with bars and restaurants Cost of living high, but we know it always is in London.
One of the best in London. Very convenient.
Not much time too do so.
