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

    • The internship was branded as an opportunity to gain graduate job, but it became clear that this option was never actually available to the interns. The only chance we really had was to get another interview for another internship and to possibly get funding for a masters. The process we were subsequently expected to undertake involves a lot of risk on our part and although it has not deterred me from persuing a career at the Bank, I would have appreciated being aware of this process before the internship .
