The Role
My internship was a very insightful experience. I got exposure to different teams and products.
My colleagues welcomed me very well when I joined the team. They were very supportive and would provide me with clear guidance.
I was given guidance at every stage of my placement but I was also given full autonomy and responsibility on my work
Depending on the weeks, my days were on average reasonably busy
I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility for example I was in permanent contact with the clients and my manager would trust me when I was communicating with them
I have developed strong financial skills thanks to my internship and enhanced my knowledge in equities and bonds
The Company
The atmosphere was very enjoyable. Everyone was nice and thoughtful
the internship was very well organised I had a staffer during each part of my rotation who would allocation the workload between all the analysts
I had a training at the beginning of my placement which helped me master the basic tools used on a daily basis on the desk
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
It looks very appealing to be part of this organisation
The Culture
There was an excellent atmosphere amongst my fellow placement and we would usually help each other when needed
The cost of living and socialising in the area is very high
The nighlife is every enjoyable in this area we would usually go for drinks with my colleagues
I was involved in a community day during my rotation at Victoria park
