About You
Good week, but the presentations became a bit repetitive.
They value your presence a lot
The support or guidance that I needed was provided.
Useful for work life in the future
The Company
Everything flowed well, very well organised
Again, presentations get boring, the activities were more entertaining.
Provided shadowing and invested their time and money in the interns
The shadowing helps a great deal, the presentaitons give a good overview.
Presumably a lot of it was put on as they'd obviously try and display their best, but the shadowing gives a better truthful insight as well as the Q&As
Very insightful, it provided a decent insight into the different areas of banking.
Everything Else
Reimbursed for travel and paid for living.
Lots of networking and Q&A sessions.
Very well organised, hosted in decent locations too and well prepared with lots of representatives from the business.
Not really advertised too much.
It's very useful, gives you an indication of what work is like before you embark on a fully fledged summer internship
