The Role
Internship was a very enjoyable experience, interesting, engaging and helpful in providing a wide financial sector experience
Valued tremendously be colleagues and accepted into the team from the start.
Line Manager and Supervisors were great, appropriate guidance and ffedback given throughout.
Appropriately, good work life balance sustained throughout.
By the end of the placement, good responsibility was given. Especially given nature of clients, I was impressed by this.
Many transferable skills were gained, providing a solid platform for further career progression
The Company
Very fun and engaging atmosphere throughout
The internship could have been slightly more efficient in organisation. System on boarding was slow but generally good levels of organisation
A lot of time, effort and resources were invested and I left feeling as if the firm really valued our contributions and potential
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
They are appealing. Whether they provide the best possible platform I am not sure but future prospects are very appealing
The Culture
Very good social scene in Manchester.
Relatively cheap - Manchester
Pretty decent
Several opportunities, could have potentially been more widespread but sports involvement was available.
