The Role
It was an enjoyable experience.
Everybody was really fiendly and helpful.
They are always willing to help;especially the managers that are assigned to each intern.
It depends on how you organize your time. We worked on two weeks sprints so they expected the tasks to be completed by each second Monday. There were busy days, but it always depends on how you manage the time and resources.
I was very surprised because I had a big responsibility for my project and I really appreciated this. Also, the tasks given were very challenging.
I think I learned a lot of new technologies and the knowledge I gained is very valuable. I can use that now in my university related projects and also in my personal ones. The testing techniques and the javascript design patterns that my manager helped me understand are extraordinary useful.
The Company
People are very friendly and I remember every time I was stuck with a problem, there were a lot of employees trying to help me. I also enjoyed the overall atmosphere because people there work as a family.
The organization of the entire internship was incredible. Every single detail was taken into account even in the charity related events case.
They organized lunch session on different topics which proved to be very useful. I really enjoyed the way they presented the problems that the banks face and the way they helped us understand the right approach in different situations.

Working from home
From my point of view, they have appealing future employment prospects. I remember I spoke to people from different departments and I was really happy with the opportunities they presented.
The Culture
I think all the other interns were amazing people and everyone got along. The events Morgan Stanley organized helped us, as interns to get closer and facilitated the communication. I was very impressed by this aspect.
The area is incredible,but it is very expensive. Fortunately , regarding food, we had a canteen which was affordable.
I think the pubs there are very popular. However, in terms of clubbing, there are not many opportunities.
They have many societies so people can join the ones that interest them. Various events are organized such as sport competitions between different banks which were really fun. People can benefit from these activities easily,
