The Role
I really enjoyed my placement- got to see a lot of different areas of the company and we were also invited to many senior speaker talks to learn more about the company. My team were very welcoming and the culture of the company was a great one to work in.
I felt very valued by collegaues- I was only in a small team so was given a lot of responsibility which I enjoyed. Work I produced was received with gratitude.
My manager was very supportive throughout the whole internship, as were my team. I was also given a buddy and senior mentor who I could chat to throughout the internship regarding any issues I had. We were also encouraged to network so through new connections I could also receive support and guidance.
Very busy. I had daily reports to send out each day and also had to deal with a lot of ad hoc requests from the sales team.
I was given a lot of responsibility- the reports I had to send out were completely left up to me- I was not assisted or reminded to do them and if they were not done then the meetings could not happen.
The skills I developed (time management, computer skills etc) will help me greatly in any future career. I also gained a deeper understanding of the investment bank which will help me in my career.
The Company
The atmosphere was actually a lot friendlier than I expected- everyone was very welcoming and more than happy to help me. Employees were also friendly amongst each other and it was a fun but hard-working environment.
It was very well organised- we had a senior speaker series where we heard from senior management each week, several networking events, a csr day, a mid and end internship party and a mentor, buddy, exec rep and manager (all of which gave support).
They invested relatively heavily in us. A lot of time, from various employees , was invested in showing us techniques or how to do things, as well as offering support or talking to us about different areas of the bank.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing. There is a good salary, with reasonable days holiday as well as a good pension scheme and many other benefits.
The Culture
There was a good social scene amongst the other interns- we regularly went out on a friday and things were also organised at weekends. Spent lunch with them everyday and occasionally drinks after work.
Relatively expensive as it was in London. Drinks are expensive but nights out weren't that expensive if you knew right places to go.
The nightlife in the area we worked was good, no clubs in Canary Wharf though but good areas nearby.
Yes- there was a JPM run we were encouraged to participate in as well as a csr day.
