The Role
Had the most amazing time, loved my team and found HR extremely helpful and friendly.
I felt very valued, I completed lots of important tasks without supervision and was always asked my opinion on issues.
I felt like there was lots of people to turn to when I was struggling and they were all happy to offer me advice.
I was so busy every day I barely even had time to eat!
I felt like I was given large amounts of responsibility especially towards the end of my internship.
My languages skills were to put to great use in the EMEA team but the financial knowledge I have acquired myself by reading and interning.
The Company
I liked the atmosphere in the office as it was high pressured and exciting but there was always time to socialise.
The internship was very organised, many events to attend and lots of work ready to complete.
Training courses at the start, books provided, and support throughout the internship.

Got the job!
The Culture
The social scene was good, however we worked so hard that there wasnt much time to enjoy it.
London is extremely expensive, however the salary was good so it didnt work out as being so bad.
London, so amazing.
There were opportunities but again, not much time to enjoy them.
