The Role
It was a great experience and I learned a lot of useful things.
My colleagues treated me as equal and very supportive in my work.
My supervisors supported me throughout the internship and gave me advice for work and future career in the firm.
I was quite busy as I was involved in real work as part of a team. However, the time I spent working was manageable and the hours were quite flexible.
I was given a lot of responsibility as I was treated the same as a full-time worker.
The skills I developed will help me in a future career in the finance industry as well as prepare me for life after graduation.
The Company
The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly.
The whole internship was very well organized. I received great training sessions and was kept fully booked till the last day of the internship.
The company definitely invested heavily in me.
