    Culture

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • The internship was a great networking and soft skills building experience. I feel I have made many strong life long connections. However, from a hard skills development perspective I found the experience to be lacking. The latter point will depend strongly on your team, line manager and experience coming into the program.

  • This is a great opportunity to meet many people and discover insights into the day to day at an investment bank, however as far as the internship program goes it is not a strong option for developing hard skills
