    • Quality place to work full of quality people.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Not just a small fish in a big pond, rather vice versa. I sat next to the European Head,so obviously a lot to get right!

    • Quiet markets mean quieter days

    • Went to numerous client meetings, had more responsibility than most other analysts

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Went from zero to hero in terms of technical knowledge - take you at all levels but by the end you are all fairly level-pegging

    5/5

    • Top atmosphere - good mixture of hard work and stress and banter
