The Role
Found my work very stimulating.
quite valued.
Given lots of guidance, everyone was always wiling to work.
To be expected for the industry.
Given a fair amount of responsibility, varied from day today.
Developed tons of skills (especially excel and powerpoint).
The Company
Very friendly, great banter.
Well organised.
Was given a fair amount of traning.
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Difficult to say. The markets are very volatile at the moment.
The Culture
The other interns were a fun bunch.
The area nearby was very expensive.
Shoreditch is fairly lively but Liverpool St is pretty quiet.
Fairly limited.
