The Role
Was very plesent and educating.
Highly valued, but don't forget it's an internship.
Whenever I needed help I was given, sometimes though people here are very busy and you have to wait.
It's a bank, you don't expect less then nine hours, specially as an intern.
Good portion of responsibility, but well of course not too much for just 10 weeks.
Really learned about a lot of stuff, from managing and working on big projects, to some concrete technologies which accelerate development.
The Company
It's a bank, so the atmosphere is quite official. Of course that does not stop teams from heaving a laugh and doing fun stuff together.
The organization was great. Excet the assignments we had to do there were a lot of meeting with both other areas of bussiness and senior staff.
They invested good amount in training the first few weeks.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club

Really a great place to work in, still I have a few different things I want to try.
The Culture
Socials were quite nice between us.
Well Canary Wharf is not the cheapest, but thats why the company pays you well.
Nothing too much for the nightlife, the city is better.
You can do almost anything you want arround here.
