  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As I have previously mentioned, since the first day my superiors gave me a lot of responsibilities, expecting from me a good quality job in a reasonable period of time. This has been the most important part of my internship, since I had the opportunity to put to the test my abilities

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have understood that Investment Banking is the industry in which I see my self for the long term. Specifically I found an incredible environment in Financial Institution Group, team in which I was assigned. I am looking forward to coming back in Deutsche Bank in London to join the Graduate program in July 2019

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • I found a Team that was able to create good synergies. Everyone was available to help and explain, Senior Managers requested an high level output but at the same time were always there to answer questions and clarifications.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • In a fast paced and dynamic environment like Investment Banking you have to be organized and the workload must be split among all the resources. I found a very good organization of everyone's tasks. In terms of program structure, I think that HR did an incredible job, organizing interesting networking events and keeping contacts with interns for the whole period.
