About You
I had a great time on the insight week, learning an extensive amount.
The current employees are always happy to help and answer any questions you have, They want you to do well and have time for your own personal development.
I received feedback regularly.
In terms of my degree not too much however in terms of a further career they developed massively.
The Company
This is dependent on the team you are in.
Very sociable and friendly atmosphere however this is subject to the team you are placed in. Luckily I had a very outgoing team which suited me.
They firm wants the best people and they invest in your development for this very reason.
It gave me a greater understanding of areas in the bank and what my skills are most suited too.
It helps to understand the culture significantly and it can be a direct comparison if you have fitted other firms especially it originated from a different country.
Highly valuable due to the amount of time you get to spend on a specific desk.
Everything Else
I was reimbursed expenses.
There is a flagship event on the Wednesday and I had the opportunity to go for lunch with fellow interns and drinks with my team.
The experience is what you make of it, the opportunities are definitely there.
Yes definitely.
