The Role
My workload was different every day, but even when things were quiter there was always plenty to be getting on with.
The Company
I joined my team during what was indisputably a very busy time but the working environment was nonetheless excellent. Having worked in many office before, my Barcap experience was certainly the best.
The Campus Recruitment team should be commended for what was a brilliantly organised internship.
