    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • On average it has been a 9-5:30 program. Each day, we have received insights from different business areas and employees of various levels of seniority. The first two days were more insight-focused, however we partook in various simulations on the following days.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • One of the simulations was an Amplify Hackathon, which introduced me to the basics of Python. I also learnt how to use a typical day trading platform interface.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • While it was a divisional programme, it was great that we could get an insight into all of the different business areas where internships are possible.

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • From what I would have expected and I suppose the stereotypes surrounding people in the finance industry, it was definitely a pleasant surprise. There was one particular employee (I don't know if I can say their name for privacy reasons) who came across as extremely genuine, and that there was no barrier or front being put up. That was really encouraging.
