Business Development Analyst - Global Cash Management Review

It was brilliant, very interesting, varied and a lot of support.

Very valued, they gave me challenging work and little guidance with the confidence that I would be able to complete it and were there if not. They gave me many important tasks and trusted I did them well as well as giving me constant feedback.

The support and guidance was brilliant. Line manager was very supportive as were the rest of the team and enabled me to fit in really easily. HR were also very supportive and kept in contact with us for the duration.

I was busy with certain tasks but definitely not overworked. I was able to work throughout the day but did not need to exceed my working hours greatly to finish off the work.

I was given a lot of responsibility considering I was only there for 9 weeks, some weekly and monthly tasks as well as business changing projects and presentations to much senior colleagues.

It was a brilliant way to develop my skills with multitasking, prioritisation, organisation as I had a lot to remember in terms of my to do list and various meetings as well as my people skills as I spent a lot of time meeting colleagues and was also given the opportunity to shadow a client meeting even though it was not part of my business area.

Quite relaxed and very friendly. Very easy to work in without feeling pressured and uncomfortable.

HR were a bit slow in terms of correspondence but once the internship had started the team were incredible and the talks and presentations we were able to attend were very well organised and great.

The firm really give you all opportunities even though you are an intern. They really invest time and trust in you. I was allowed to attend a board meeting within my business area even though this covered confidential matters so that i would get a better business understanding and people really made time to talk to you about their roles and help you.

Manager is very encouraging about giving me a future job and hopefully this will materialise.

Yes there were drinks every Friday and nights out, a picnic on one of the Saturdays as well as leaving drinks and welcome lunches with the team.

London is of course expensive. Especially Canary Wharf, but worth it if you can live at home and Barclays gave us relocation money so very supportive and not expensive for interns.

London has an incredible night life and there is a great after work buzz around Canary Wharf.

We were offered the opportunity to get involved with a Citizenship challenge as well as charity events and other events, if anyone felt like they had missed out on anything, HR would go out of their way to find something equal to get you involved with.
