Met some great people in the 2019 cohort at the women's spring week and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The graduates were equally kind and helpful in answering our questions about the different divisions as well as telling us more about the p...
I really enjoyed it as they gave a lot of insight into the kind of work they do along with the work culture of the company. It felt as though the information they were giving was very valuable. However, there was a lot of presentations and being talked to...
I was given lots of genuine case work, which gave me a real insight into the work of the Enforcement division at the FCA. I also completed shadowing in other divisions which has given me first hand experience of the Financial Conduct Authority, as well as...
I really enjoyed my 10 weeks working at the FCA. Working on a market study meant I had good exposure to a main financial industry (insurance broking) and so I could learn a lot of transferable skills. I thought the atmosphere was really good, with everyon...
I did enjoy my work placement at the Financial Conduct Authority very much. It was my first experience of work in the public sector and I could not have had a better start. The work environment and colleagues were very welcoming and contributed to the pos...
I really enjoyed it. I had challenging work and learnt a lot about the organisation, both in my home team and with week long stints in two other departments. I felt like I had ownership of my own work but also plenty of support and time from my colleagues...
My placement at the FCA was by far the most enjoyable internship I've had. The work was stimulating, as it involved considering a wide range of issues and stakeholders, given the FCA's unique industry position. I was given the opportunity to develop skill...
I have really enjoyed my 10 weeks at the FCA - everyone I interacted with during this time was lovely and helpful. People outside of your division were always happy to take you on for shadowing, which was really useful in gaining an insight into the FCA a...
Quite enjoyable - overall very good experience.
Gave a good overview of the financial industry, but too little work to be stimulating.
I enjoyed my internship a lot. There is a very good work life balance in this organisation which means that most roles are actually 9-5. Fridays are a semi weekend and very relaxed with a dress down policy. The pace of work fairly relaxed too with no majo...
I thought it was good. The FCA gives you the opportunity to work in lots of different areas so you get a clear understanding of what you like and what you don't like. The culture is also really good as they make it a point for you to have a good work-l...
My team were very enthusiastic and the work atmosphere was great to work in. I enjoyed going in every day and I was given a variety of work to get involved in. I met lots of different people which made my day more varied. It has given me great experience ...
I really enjoyed my time as an intern at the Financial Conduct Authority. I have been given a lot of responsibility over the 10 weeks that I have worked but with a good support network from my team and the recruiting team. I have liked the varied types of...
I found my placement an enjoyable experience. I always had work to do so I was kept busy throughout my internship. I was given opportunities to get involved with things that I was interested in which made it more interesting for me. My team was supportive...
It was a good experience overall. I did get to do quite bit of real substantial work and learnt a lot - but there were also times where I had nothing to do for a few days continuously.
I enjoyed the internship very much, it was very interesting and I was always doing something. I was never bored, and my managers provided activities that allowed me to see what it would be like to work within enforcement on a normal day. I would recommend...
I thoroughly enjoyed the insight week. It allowed me to see what it would be really like working at the FCA. For a person who didn't know much about what the FCA did or how they operated, the insight week allowed me to develop knowledge about the financia...
Being a part of the FCA insight week was a truly enjoyable and interesting experience. Firstly, it was great to meet 25 other woman who are too interested in finance and have a want to be successful in their future work - I learnt a lot from them just as ...
