The Role
The internship gave us the opportunity to work on various desks having the possibility to really understand different areas of the banking world
It varies from desk to desk.
Managers took really good care of the interns providing good advices, support and guidance
Sometimes days would be really busy and we would work on multiple project at the same time. This was maybe not balanced but at least we would learn a lot
A lot of responsibilities are given at a very early stage and a lot is expected from an intern
It defently helps if one should work in finance
The Company
One desk was really relaxed when the flow of work would decrease however my second rotation was a much more serious atmosphere
Very well organized in advance
They did invest a lot in terms of training and bringing teachers
Company Car
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I got the job
The Culture

Espensive !
