    The Role

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

    • Really enjoyed the internship overall, great culture at the bank and makes you feel comfortable in the work place from day 1. Lots of activities throughout the internship engaging through a range of activities during your induction such as extensive division specific training providing the basic knowledge before you start your rotations. RBS is a great place for exploring and learning many desks through the rotational aspect as well as networking with senior members.

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

    • At RBS I felt really comfortable talking to the grads and analysts on the desk talking not only about work but general things. They provide huge responsibilities from day one making you feel like the work you do makes a difference. My line managers were great especially for support throughout the Internship and happy to help out or even go for coffee sessions.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
