    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I loved the environment of the bank, and the people I was working with were all interesting, driven people. As a technology intern the work itself was not very interesting, however that is largely down to the team you are in, and your personal interest (and knowledge) of finance.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • A large part of my team was in India, and so felt somewhat distant. Those in London with me were really nice, interesting people.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Lot's of advice and direction, however still with a significant amount of freedom.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Once I was settled in, I was just a member of the team, and so always had lots to do and a reason to stay late.
