    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office is a great place to work. Everyone is approachable, which is not always the case in other offices or on other floors. All of the people working in the department are extremely competent and good at their jobs. The team has been welcoming and helped me every step of the way, especially the grads.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The internship was relatively well organised. There were evetns within FI organised by the emerging talent team hear which was really good. As a whole there could have been better comunication as to what to expect from the internship, who your manager is etc.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Collegues took time out of their day to explain products, and how things worked. They have invested a lot of time into myself and other interns to make sure that we understand the area of the bank that we are in and that we understand the workings of each of the different areas in our department.
