    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • We were reimbursed for travel expenses over £20.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • There was a great emphasis on the importance of networking, so this formed a large part of the programme, and we were constantly encouraged to talk to employees, all of whom were helpful and informative.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • They ranged from an informal lunch to an evening out at a bar. There was always an opportunity to talk to someone from each division.

    • 4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I would thoroughly recommend the programme to anyone wanting to learn more about banking in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. As there were fewer interns on this programme, there was greater opportunity for asking questions and speaking to employees individually.
