The Role
Enjoyed it overall
Felt my work was worthwhile to them
Guidance was pretty good, support less so
Good balance never too stretched just busy enough
Not that much responsibility but still felt valued by the team
Definitely useful although not directly related to my degree
The Company
Relatively quiet but I guess to be expected in a professional environment
Well organised including socials with other interns at other banks
Aside from the aforementioned socials not a huge amount
Got offered a job!
The Culture
Good social scene went out at least twice a week
Not overly expensive although the cost of travelling in added up
Fantastic nightlife!
Sporting and social activities mainly as well as one charity event.
