About You
Amazing week that gave me valuable experience and insight into banking and technology
One of Barclays values is Respect and is was visible during the whole programme
We had a lot of support and guidance from graduates working within division we had chosen during work shadowing
Now I can much better devote my time to improve my skills and learn new that are valuable when working in technology
The Company
Very well strucutre, however as we had a lot of workshops, training, networking events and work shadowing it was exhausting to some extent
Atmosphere was very friendly, exciting and all interns as well as employees were very engaged
Barclays invested a lot of resources into us as we were provided a lot of training and workshops
Work shadowing with graduates within chosen division gave me great insight into various roles
Whole Spring Week showed me what is a culture like in Barclays
Now I know how would my career in banking industry look like
Everything Else
Barclays covered all of our expenses
We had one networking event with senior employees, breakfast with senior management and other meetings with employees as well as work shadowing with graduates
I have met and spoke to many senior employees, graduates as well as my intern colleagues
We were shown a lot of opportunities that employees can get involved into
Absolutely, it was one of the best weeks since I have started university
