    4/5

    • Really willing to explain the job, from the smallest things to the most strategic ones. Everyone is welcoming, no one is bothered if you have questions, instead they push for questions and clarifications.

    4/5

    • Pretty busy, not extremely. Time to reason about the things you are doing, the workload is reasonable as an intern, not crazy.

    • Increasing responsibilities. At the start of the internship you are assigned to the most dull tasks, if you prove reliable you can do more rewarding things.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Training was very useful in my opinion, it was a good occasion to refresh some concepts studied at school. The training week was also important to get used to the programs used in the Bank.
