    • I carried on real responsibility, make real changes on my team, participate in a wide range of activities (e.g. speaker sessions, CSR day, boat party, mask party). I managed to talk to so many people from all over the world and build up a connection with my colleagues.

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Definitely choose J.P. Morgan if you go for Operations. They invest heavily on developing this business area which often less emphasised by most investment banks in the industry.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Everyone is friendly and kind. I met many good friends here and I will definitely miss them so much after the internship.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Socialising in Bournemouth is good. Not as expensive as working in London but you get fewer choice definitely.

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good enough for me.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are loads of activities you can join in J.P. Morgan Bournemouth e.g. 27 employees groups, volunteering activities and sport clubs; and also the activities equipped in the programme e.g. parties, school & college engagement project, etc.
