About You
I loved my virtual experience at Barclays, it was very fulfilling and so enjoyable. I got a great experience of working in the financial sector.
I was made feel at home immediately, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly.
I couldn't have wished for more support during the internship. Everyone was so helpful and made a real effort to make sure I was getting on okay.
I 100% developed skills for life here. It was my first taste of working in this area and it was very constructive, and I picked up some essential skills.
The Company
The internship flowed very well. It was very well structured and each week we had new, exciting events.
The relationship I had with my fellow interns and team mates was great.
The company organised lots of training sessions for us, which ere very informative. We also had a whole portal available to us with masses of modules.
I feel like the skills and skills I picked up here would be directly transferable into a full time role.
We got lots of insights into the company culture. We had lots of speaker series' and events to do so.
I have a much better idea into where I see myself progressing with my career.
Everything Else
There was lots of networking opportunities set up for us.
